    Official BYC Poll: The Worst Predator

    and btw, where we used to live, the rats were humungous, we called them Graveyard Rats, mostly common at graveyards. They were giant, and unlike most rats, who bite chick's neck's and leave them, they eat them all up.

    is it ok to feed chicks crackers?

    Well, I think you should grind them up, and make sure that there isn't salt, they won't like the salt, but it's fine to feed them that.

    Order arrived dead :(

    Do you know the farm that you got them from him? Maybe there wasn't enough heat for them in a little box, did you make sure you knew enough information about the farm/hatchery? I hope that the little white chicken is doing fine
