A couple of days ago I received a new chicken. However, my other chickens pick relentlessly on her. So she flies out of the pen... I have thought about clipping her wings, but I wasn't sure it was the best option. What are your thoughts of integrating her into my flock? Should I clip her wings?
This year I just got rid of my old flock and ordered new chicks. However I kept 3 of my bantams. One of my bantams has chicks in a different coop and one is laying eggs in the regular coop. I have been getting eggs from my little bantam, but today I got 2 eggs. The chicks I ordered earlier this...

I am thinking about making a homemade incubator and the biggest issue with it would be turning the eggs by hand. So how do you make a homemade eggs turner to go inside a homemade incubator?
Thanks!
Today the last little chick hatched today, and is not doing well. It crawls out from its mom and doesnt go back under, and it also in a form crawl and doesnt walk. Should I put electrolote (I dont know how to spell!) in its water? What else can I do???

Thanks!
