    Chickens eating charred wood bits and lots of bees... is this ok?

    Hi everyone- We have a firepit where we have burned branches and trees that have falled and I noticed the birds go crazy in that pile - it is great dirt underneath and seems to be lots of bugs so I thought nothing of it until I realized they seemed to be eating the charred bits too. Is this...

    2 1/2 week old chick picking on new young chick... what do I do?

    Hi everyone- I am new to all this and just got my first 2 chicks last Saturday and then 2 new ones today (I was waiting on certain breeds). Many people told me it would work out fine introducing different age chicks, but it isn't going so well with my 2 1/2 week old Welsummer - she is picking...
