    8 week old just beginning to get weak

    I am so sorry I have not kept up with the thread. The 8 week old is now 15 weeks old. It was her leg. I kept her separated and spent time keeping her integrated with flock. She is much smaller than others, and is pecked so much by others. I have a flock of 30, and they all get into the act...

    My chick scoots around and I found her perching on some contracting equipment(3 inches up....long story..deck being built from 2nd story deck to coop). She eats and drinks well. Just cannot stand. I will still try to deworm, organically. She seems the same. Thanks for the tips!!!!!

    Hi! I have 31 chicks and roosters...29 plus 2. They are 8 weeks of age, and we have not lost a one. They have all been doing so well, growing, eating, etc. Yesterday our coop (12 x 24 ft) was ready for them. When we went to place them in a box..a few at a time(large box), I noticed a barred...
