    For the past few weeks, one of my chickens has been consistently making a weird sound - something like a honk/yelp for lack of a better way to describe it. I searched on byc but didn't find anything conclusive and assumed it wasn't a big deal since my chicken was behaving normally. This...

    Injured/Sick chick

    Yesterday I began to notice how runty one of my chicks was compared to the others that I had all received last Wednesday. I thought at first it was maybe because the bigger chicks were shoving her aside from the food and water but then I noticed her injury on her side. I don't know how she got...
