    mareks for adult birds?

    I just picked up 3 lovely ladies who are about 1 year old. I am adding them to my flock of 9 ladies who are around 12 weeks old.

    Just received my chicks. They are non stop drinking. Is this normal?

    wing feather growth rate?

    Is it normal for the wing feathers of chicks of the same breed to grow at significantly different rates?
