    Should I still get chicks at this point?

    I do have two other older hens, that are stating to slow down on laying. We are planning on building the chicks a separate coop. So should I consider letting them outside around 10 weeks?

    Should I still get chicks at this point?

    Im considering getting chicks, but Im worried that it will be too cold to put them outside by the time that they are old enough. I live in Rhode Island so it can get pretty cold even in October. I just wanted to make sure it's okay to expose them to the cold weather so suddenly. thank you!

    So here's the thing, me and my family are on vacation for a week and my friend is taking care of my chickens. Does this disease seem urgent enough for her to do these things herself? ( is there a possibility that she could pass away because of this in a week? )

    We give her plenty of food and water at free access... could she be eating so little because of the reproductive Disease?

    I don't have a scale that works very well. Is there anything that I can do about the poop?

    Recently, my rir has not been looking that good. She is a middle aged hen who has recently stopped laying. She is lethargic and tired-looking around the coop; and I can tell that she has had a massive loss in her appetite ( I can tell by how her crop is completely empty). Her butt also seems...
