    integrating hens...

    Usually takes about 2 weeks before the hens stop pecking or running a strange hen. Every breed is different on integration time, but 2 weeks should do it. I have RIR and Austrlorps.

It is the cheapest sand usually, and in the line of work I'm in I have easy access to it. None the less get the cheapest sand you can...

    Chick Dragging her leg? Updates of Negu. *New Update (7/6) Pg 5. Pictures added!*

    I would take the chick back to TSC if they give no warrenty on the chick cull it. It sounds cold but it will die eventually anyway. If you gave the chick a few days after the refusal from TSC it would not hurt. Its got some type of nerve damage or a birth defect.
