    Three week chicks one with bulging butt

    I have 5 Barred Rock chicks three weeks old now. One of them has pooched out butt every now and again. It looks unpleasant, like its poop is not coming out like it should. Is their something I should be doing. Or is this normal??

    Just full of questions! How to make my new "yearlings" love me

    When I go in my coop and close the door 1 or 2 will jump up on the roost and you can put your hand and arm down by their feet and they will step right on. Look forward to having to wash up afterwards! They don't like being held.
