    hen with split beak; not eating

    I have a hen (black sex linked I think) that has a bit of an overgrown beak that is now split. It looks like she has two points at the end of her top beak instead of one. Can I try to clip the beak with dog nail clippers? She is not eating and was just beginning to lay a couple of weeks...

    My chickens

    Here are a few more pictures of my chicks. I love spending time. If only they were more friendly. I swear this one and a couple of others look like they are crossed with a roadrunner and they act like it too.

    How many chickens will fit

    in a cinder block hole? We have these cinder blocks in the pen to help cover holes and give the chicks something to play on and in and they love laying inside. I have watched 3 try to fit in a hole.

    question on smaller chick

    One of my birds was injured when we got him. It has a swollen joint and walks with a pretty bad limp. It is smaller than the rest. Will it catch up or stay smaller than the rest?

    What temp is too cool for chicks

    Is upper 40's too cold for chicks that mostly have their feathers with a little down on their necks and chest. They have a house to get into and 25 other buddies to snuggle up with.
