    Can you graft baby chicks to mama who already has 3 or 4 day old chicks?

    My Lavender Orpington has hatched out 5 fertile eggs that a friend gave to me from her chickens. Two hatched on Monday, two hatched on Tuesday and the last one hatched out today. What are the chances of grafting on a couple more chicks from the feed store to her tomorrow?

    Is this normal???

    [/IMG] I just picked up this 4 week old lavender Orpington from a local breeder. She has a large bald spot over her back and neck. She looks like a little vulture! Lol The other chicks the breeder had didn't seem to have this, so I'm wondering if she was being picked on, or could it be...

    Howdy from Elk Grove, California!

    I've been lurking around BYC for a while, and finally decided to join! What a fantastic resource! We have recently decided to get chickens (again), and we are looking forward to our new feathered friends and fresh, delicious eggs! I'm thinking 3 is a good number for our household and yard size...
