    Why do a lot of my chicks die?

    Earlier this year, I started raising backyard chickens. I started with 6 black silkies, however, 3 of them died. Then, because of their deaths, I got 5 more chicks (a buff cochin, a white frizzle cochin, and 3 silkies), 1 of them died. After those grew up over the summer, I've loved keeping...

    Worming 6 week old chicks?

    I noticed worms in one of my 6 week old chick's poop, so naturally I came to byc to look up wormers! I read a thread about Valbazen, and was wondering, Is it safe to use on my chicks? Thanks!

    Almost 2 Week Old Silkie Bantam Chicks

    Can I put these chicks together?

    I have 2 silkie chicks and one showgirl that are all 1 1/2 weeks old. Tomorrow, I'm getting 2 more silkies, but these are 2 weeks old and from a different breeder. Can I put these chicks in the same brooder as my 1 1/2 week year olds? :)
