    Are they old enough?

    I have some Barred Rock chicks that are 2 and 1/2 weeks old and I was wondering if they could go outside. They were from a hatchery, so they don't have their mamma with them. Not permanently, just for a little each day and only when it is warm.

    Barred Rock Roosters

    I currently have a flock of Light Brahma chickens (3 hens 2 roosters that get along well). I was looking to raise some Barred Rock chicks to add to my flock.

    Brahmas

    Do Brahmas behave well around other types of chickens? Especially Light Brahmas. I thought I heard somewhere that Brahmas get along with people but do not get along as well with other chickens. Any thoughts?

    Chickens are slowly dropping off

    I recently did something stupid and fed my chickens some beetles that had started to compost. They got sick (lethargic, runny poop, not wanting to eat or drink much) and I had 5 die on me. I treated their coop and run and started feeding them diatomaceous earth and they all seemed to get better...
