There was a notice from the state posted in the front yard that the house may be condemed due to unsanitary condition, loose fowl and standing water.

    My Barred Rock female chick is not growing. The other chick I bought at the same time (a Polish) is now a pullet. New chicks I have since bought are a month younger and the same size. She still has fuzz and not pin feathers. I have tried letting her outside for sun/fresh air, watermelon...
