    Hermia or Oberan???? (pullet or cockerel????)

    This is Hermia(for now possibly) an EE... but should I change its name ... I definitely heard some crowing from the brooder the other day but missed seeing who it was. I have 5 in there.. 2 are almost 7 weeks old and the rest are a week younger.. I imagine that it HAD to be one of the older 2...

    Just got my Babies!!! one is lethargic

    Thanks everyone.. she did die the others are still doing good.. there are 2 types of Sav-a-chick. an Electrolyte supplement and a Probiotic. I would recommend giving your chicks some if you give antibiotics, since that kills the good bacteria as well as the bad and probiotics help put those back.
