    My chicken is limping on this foot. This started 2 weeks ago but seemed to get better. She was roosting at night.

    Integration Day! Help Lol!

    Chick with Bald/red Spot

    I got this Barred Rock chick on Monday (3/15) and was told he is 3 days old along with another chick. He had a little redness on his back, but still had all of his chick fuzz. He wasn’t scratching at it. Yesterday, 3/19, I picked up 8 more chicks and put them in the same brooder box. They’ve...
