    Dog bite

    My rooster got attacked by my neighbors older dog a week ago, all I could see was puncture wounds to his back. I have been applying Neosporin and vetericyn spray twice daily.

    Separated chick

    I let one of the hens hatch out some eggs, this is my first time. Can you tell if these are hens or Roos? And any Roos will have to be butchered, what age do you do that at?

    Sand in coop?

    How to wean from heat?

    I moved my five week old chicks out to their coop today, all are feathered except one. He’s a surprise chick I got from the hatchery, I’m guessing he’s a dark Brahma(and assuming he’s a he). Attached is a photo of him when he was younger, at the moment he’s probably 2/3 feathered out. So the...
