I have one black chick that is losing his his baby fuzz and some feathers came in but now he is just going bald. My RIRs are doing great. Their feathers are coming in nicely. Have any idea what maybe happening to my black chick.

We just brought home 4 baby chicks. I want my dogs (mainly my little dog) to get use to having them around, so when they are older I can have them run around the yard without her attacking them. Any advice on how to help this relationship between little dog and chicks?

Hi, I am Amanda. On Saturday we welcomed for new chicks into our family. Not sure what sex they are. They are RIR. Their names are Max, Josie, Ninja and Sadie. We are excited to have them! I don't know anything about chickens, so I look forward to learning all I can from this group.
