I really need help! I have a chick with what looks like bloody poop, but it's eating and drinking just fine and acting more or less normal. I gave both of the chicks some eggs and oat meal and I tried to go get corid, but the open feed stores didn't have any and the ones they suggested were...
I have a black ayam cemani roo, and a white brahma mix hen that has some black splash around her neck. What would possibly happen if those two were to breed?
I have a 4 week old ayam cemani girl and boy. I just brought home 2 eight week old hens (buff orpington, and a brahma mix).
My male ayam wants to pin the new hens down when I put them in the same small enclosure, and will want nothing to do with them out in the yard. Should I let him beat up...
My three soon to be four week old chicks are really in to flying. I've had my smallest clear a three foot stretch.. They also seem to like to fly at each other, and peck each other a lot. This is only when I have them out of their box from what I've seen.
I have a small salary and only 5 chickens (or what will be five chickens). I need to figure out how big (or small) to make my run, and I've found that I can't picture things without over exaggeration. I'm 5'8" and would like to be able to stand inside my run for easy cleanup, and catching of...

My chicks are 3 weeks today, and while roaming around, they will kinda chase each other or fly into each other especially if they want to get to something first. Is this normal?
I'm new to chickens, and the more I spend time with the two I'm watching, the more I fall in love with these animals! Right now they are laying on my chest preening, and I'm super happy to have them
Allo! I'm mostly on here because I'm chick sitting and I had a mini scare with the peepers, though thanks to you lovely folk I figured out and corrected the situations! But alas, I am becoming addicted to these little fluffy balls of chirp, and am dying to have some of my own! The only issue is...
I'm currently chick sitting, and realized that the two chicks I have are Ayam Cemani.. Are those super rare and expensive? From what I've seen it seems like a lot of chicken breeders covet them.
My parents put the chicks we're watching in this dog kennel, and my uncle seems to think they can escape it. Can a chick fit through these holes? Holes are about 1"1/2-2" wide
