How do you make chick shoes? How do you put them on so that they stay on? Does anyone have pictures of chick shoes?
one of the 14 week old pullets is bald around her right eye. The eye is not infected, and she doesn't act affected by the lack of feathering around the eye. The other side of her face is normal, and none of the others have any bald patches. Any ideas what it could be?
