    No eggs in three weeks now molting and feeling thinner

    Help! Bleeding feathers on my 17 day old chick

    I came home yesterday to my little golden chick with blood on her wing. It looks to have come from her feathers. It is dried and I have her separate from the others, but what do I do now? Wash it, wiping it off didn't work. I'd have to wet her.

    7 mixed chicks

We are loving them. Days are in the 80's and nights in the 60's. Would it be ok if we turned off the light...
