    putting baby chick back with momma hen

    The sick o e didn't make it . I think there was domething wrong with it. Everytime we git it to perk up it would go downhill again. The momma gen abandoned the other two babies. We thought they were dead they were so cold and suddenly we saw movement. They got some tlc and are doing fine now.

    putting baby chick back with momma hen

    Crippled chick

    We have two chicks that are about a week old. Haven't been able to get to them much because momma is very protective but I have noticed one hops around on one foot and holds the other foot up with the toes curled like a claw. Anything I should do or can the chick adapt on its own?

    Yolks

    The eggs we have been getting from our hens lately seem to have really weak yolks. They break everytime I crack an egg. Even when I try to roll it out of the shell gently. Any ideas on what could be causing this? Is it something to do with their diet?

    Other baby chicks pecking at one making it bleed.

There is something hanging off the spot where they were pecking. Is there anything that I can do to help it. I did move it out and...

    Can my chickens eat mango?

    Can you put the part of a Mango out for them that has the pit in it. There is a lot of fruit around the ones I just made baby food out of. Sure didn't know they were so hard to get apart!
