    Pecking

    I currently have a 3 month old Maran and 5- 4 week old naked neck chicks. 2 weeks ago I put them all together in the coop and they seemed fine. 1 week ago one of the chicks escaped and my dog "caught" it...unfortunately, the chick was injured but fortunately it survived.

    Received a hen and eggs, now what?

    Ran into a lady today who was going to sell me a free range chicken to raise. She couldn't catch the one we were originally going to get so she asked if I wanted the broody one on her nest. She said I could have the fetilized eggs she was sitting on for free. I accepted! Took the bird and the...
