I just noticed that my RIR roo's spurs have grown a lot. Do the spurs have quick in them like a toenail? Just wonder how careful I need to be when I trim them.
My almost 2 month old Aracauna hen is losing many feathers. She looses ate least 3 to 6 a day. She also has been having really runny, smelly poo. Another Silver Laced Wyandotte has also been having really runny smelly poo. None of my other eleven chicks are. Do you have any idea whats wrong?

Hi,
I got chicks about 3 or 4 weeks ago. The Rhode Island Reds we just hand picked. We think 1 to 3 are boys is there any way to be sure. Some of them kick there feet up like roosters and have large comes. Does that mean they are roosters
I just got the most wonderful kitten yesterday he stays in the garage with our chicks. He can't be in the house or outside by himself. He's pretty curious but also scared and nervous. Is it too dangerous to get the chicks out to play?

We took our chicks outside yesterday, they loved it. It was probably about 80 degrees; they were in the sun. They seemed fine with the temperature. It is going to start getting colder soon. What temperature is too cold to bring them outside?

How do you sex a chicken? We ordered 8 girls but have 5 chicks unsexed. I think 2 or 3 are roosters but I am not sure. How can I find out?
P.S. Are roosters agressive towards other roosters?
My chickens are about 2 weeks and 1 week old. How many months will it be when they lay their first egg?
When they lay their first egg will it look normal?
How do I know if my chicks are expressing normal behavior? We have 1 chick named Ruby who loves to power nap all the time. We had another chick who we thought liked to power nap but then died a few days later.What are signs on how your chick is feeling?:o
Some of our chicks are almost 2 weeks old and the others about 1 week. When will they be old enough to start getting treats?
So far the only treats we have been giving them are live crickets and grasshoppers. Are they bad for our chicks?
We just got chicks about a week ago. They stay in our garage in a cage. As I went out today to visit them there were so many flies in the cage. I coudn't enjoy myself when I was out there. What is good way to get rid of all of these flies?

Hey,
I just got chicks and I was wondering about chicks and kittens. I just lost my wonderful cat Moses 3 weeks before I got my chicks. My chicks are still very young and I wanted to know if a few weeks is too early to get a kitten

What should you do when there is poop stuck on a chick's butt?
We tried getting it off and she acted like it really hurt. When it was fianlly off the other chicks were pecking her. Is there an easier calmer way to do this?:o
