    Can I brood different ages together?

    I have a two day old (very screamy and needy), two content 3 week olds (anxious about the screaming), and a sassy 9 week old(brother had to be put down a week ago).

    Can bad eggs develop blood vessels?

    How do you all stop chickens from eating barn cat food?

They will probably eat it faster. I can’t stand the cats near the house anymore so they have been kicked out to the barn...
