    Do my Sick Chicks need Heat for Winter?

    I have seven chicks, mostly bantams, about four months old, and I believe they have some manner of respiratory disease. I have separated them from the older chickens, but I am worried they aren't going to be warm enough over the winter. I was wondering at what temperature they should get heat...

    My 4 month old Chicks Look like they're 3 Weeks Old

    I'll start by saying I'm not sure I'm posting in the right place... I bought six Black Wyandotte Bantams back in August, and I think they were about 1-2 weeks old when I got them. It is now about 4 months later, and they have hardly grown at all! I estimate they are 4 months old and I'm just...

    Young pheasant's one eye stopped growing?

    We bought a few Ring-Necked Pheasant's this spring and as they grew we noticed that one eye on the male seemed to never grow. The eye is as small as it was as when he was a few weeks old. I don't expect there is anything that can be done about it, so I was wondering if anyone has heard of this...
