    Combining chicks 1.5 weeks apart

    We have chicks that are two weeks old this past Monday and babies that are one week old today. I need to combine them. Do I have to worry about doing this or should they be close enough in age as it not be an issue.? Also any suggestions on how I should do it for most success?

    Chicken acting not right

    Bella is alert and normal in every way except her leg. We started the vitamin B a couple of days ago and trying very hard to get the poultry cell into her although she absolutely hates it!
