    Neighbors Killing Chickens?

    I was outside feeding and playing with my hen, Raven. I heard clucking over the fence and went over to peek through the fence. I saw this woman and man holding a hen. She was held by her legs and panicking. They took out a tape measurer and slapped her head and dunking her head in boiling water...

    What's All This Cheeping About?

    Thanks, I'll try that next time! They do learn sooner or later that you tricked them when they get older :)

    And do you think that it is chirping a lot because it is hot? Chicks chirp less and more softly when it's cold. Should it be that when they are hot, it would be chirping loud enough to have you get a tiny headache?

    What's All This Cheeping About?

    Thanks, I'll see what I can do. Should I add a little garlic to the water too? I read that you should feed garlic that is well minced and crushed to your chicks.

    What's All This Cheeping About?

    So, I am new to chick raising, and I had two chicks about a week ago. They are about 3 weeks, until one of them died yesterday. What happened? I fed them, watered them, cleaned their coop plenty of times. So what? The night before my chick died, they were cheeping endlessly. Their feet were...

    Bald spot.

    Yeah, they are fine now, it's just their wings. I'm worried that my black one's wings are sore and he keeps flying to keep up with his sibling.

    Bald spot.

    Same with me. Both of my chicks have a bald spot, but the one with the biggest is my black one, about a week old or two. I guess handle the chicks gentler and feed them more slowly and a bit less? because their chest looks like their is a big lump in it.

    What Part is That Part?

    So I need to know where the stomach and other things are in a chicken. Any ideas? I would like to see a map of the chicken's vital organs and insides etc. and not the outside of a chicken. The internet doesn't show for me...

    Desperatley Needing Help!!

    For your scenario, I suggest you should separate your chickens again, each breed in another pen. You can let them sleep in their pens for about a few days and try your best to separate them for as long as they are in different pens/sleeping places. Let your most bullied one occupy the main pen...

    Stressed! Chick Advice!

    thanks guys! I noticed she didn't want to mother them RIGHT after I posted this. She's more scared then attack. I don't want to upset her anyways, and I keep them inside, though my oldest sister is babying them without letting them have their freedom in their brooder
