WE have new chicks that hatched today. Help I am so new to this. Do they need special food? They are in the run with the other chickens, will the other ones try and kill them? Do I put chick food in the nest? what about water? Help!!!! do I try and move mama and babies to a safe place?
He is very listless. Not eating much, does not crow, his tail feathers are drooping. We have had to put 3 hens down because of Mareks. Do you think this is the first sign of it's return. I do not want him to suffer. His comb in very pale and droopy.
We had to put our chick dwon today. She had Merek, I kept her in a cage by herself in the coop but I am afraid she might have infected the others. They are not showing any signs but how long does it take to maifest itself. We have 2 roosters we want to sell but now we are afraid to. Any...
