I have 3 new chicks. If it is real hot out do they still need a lamp on? 90 out today!
Also I brought them home. They put them in a little paper bag.
The older one is just laying there. Looks real hot. Gave her some water and she did
eat but isnt moving much.
Drove down the driveway at 2 in the afternoon yesterday to find a fox attacking one of my chickens.
It was horrifying! The fox ran away but my chicken died in front of me. Thats not the end!
I have 10 chickens. 3 missing, 1 injured, found my BO dead in the field and now only have 4 left.

I have a silkie rooster who is real sweet. Is that good enough for a rooster?
So how do i grab him when he is coming at me with his feet? dont want to sound silly but when ya see him coming straight on, not sure what to grab? His feet?
Funny...I have a 9 month old Buff roo and he just went after me today! He flapped his wings and came at me with his feet!
As you all know they are big roosters! He has pecked at my leg a couple times pretty hard when I wasnt looking. I fear I have
a mean rooster! I have a silkie rooster who...
Thanks everyone! I have 3 others the same age that have bigger redder waddles and combs so hoping these are hens!
I have one that has a very little comb and waddle but is smaller than everyone.
