    Baby chick, failure to thrive, help please!

    Thank you. Her vent looks fine. She pooped last night but I'm not sure this morning. I also saw her drink last night from the water with the sav-a-chick mixture in it.

    Thanks! The No Crow seems like the simplest solution - I find it all very interesting though!

    Stop crowing AND keep your roosters alive?

    Hi all, I'm a newbie and right now just playing "fantasy chicken" and planning for the future. I'd like to have the option of keeping a rooster if I want so I've been researching possible solutions to deal with unwanted crowing. Please let me know what your experience is with any of the...
