    Dead Chicken

    What would cause a seemingly healthy 5 month old chicken to die? We have a mixed flock of 3 year olds and five month olds. They were successfully integrated about a month ago. My husband and I went out of town for 2 nights, leaving the girls enough food and water during our absence. When we...

    New mama to 5 girls

    I am hoping you all can give me some insight to an issue I think one of my chicks has. I have 2 barred rocks, 2 amercuanas, and 1 RR, they are a week old. All seem to be doing great. They are active, eating and drinking well and sleeping. However, one of the amercuanas has a dark runny stool...
