    Goat breed!

    Mother looks like a mini Nubian. Buck looks like perhaps a Nigerian dwarf.

    The Omega Rocks: The Last & Ultimate Barred Plymouth Rock Flock

    Most of my mature bantam boys are good with chicks. I think the instincts are still there. I hadn't seen many standard breed roosters being like that, and he was the only one I ever saw h sitting with the sick or dying hens. Most chickens try to peck them to death, not sit with them in my...

    Vent Pecking - Advice Needed

    They do start getting more active after that first week or two. If they are running and flapping about they generally do better with more room. Each batch is different. Sometimes you just get some trouble makers, and have to adapt your usual process of brooding.

    The Omega Rocks: The Last & Ultimate Barred Plymouth Rock Flock

    I think I shared this picture years ago of him. I had just opened the pen door to let the littles start to explore. He came in and was talking to them, and let this little one peck at his wattles. He was so patient with them and they weren't even his.

    The Omega Rocks: The Last & Ultimate Barred Plymouth Rock Flock

    Roosters like Bash are a wonderful asset. I had a buff Orpington rooster that was like that. Sat with the sick or dying ones. It make you realize how much they think, and that they have feelings too. He also was a wonderful father to all chicks and would look after them. Miss that big guy. He...

    Vent Pecking - Advice Needed

    I would put her back. If necessary you can make a small circle of wire to put around her or the one pecking to give them a break without isolation one. You may need to make the brooder bigger if it continues. Also make sure it isn't too warm.

    Sebastopols (Hormones in October)?

    I personally would wait with the antibiotic. Poultry in general are really good at healing. They are also probably freaked out at being in a new place, plus being mixed with those that aren't from their batch. Generally older gosling will harass any younger ones.

    Vent Pecking - Advice Needed

    Sounds like you are seeing where the umbilical was attached. Chicks do peck at each other. I add shiny glass rocks to the brooder so they have something to peck at. I put them where the food is and the water. Some chicks are more vigorous than others and try to eat toes and eyeballs from their...
