Anyway I looked the law up online and it stated I could have them. Well, there are a few abandoned lots in my neighborhood and a few of us neighbors got...

    3 week old chick limping

    I have 3 buttercup chicks. One is a good but smaller than the other two. Today I noticed the smallest was limping/having a hard time keeping her balance. I looked at her and noticed one leg is bigger (swollen?). Has anyone ever experienced this and what can I do for her?

She's on layer pellets and fresh fruits/veggies and occasional mealworms as treats and they eat what they dig up in the yard. I also checked for lice/mites and I didn't see anything. I'm new to...

After work (about 7 hrs later) she was caked again. This time I washed her bum off in warm water and wrapped her in a towel. My question is...

    What kind of chicks.

    I did have only 1 chick. She/he was so lonely and miserable. So I went and got 2 more. The bin said "assorted pullets". Can anyone guess what they may be? My best uneducated guess would be New Hampshire red. Any other ideas? Thank you. :)
