Weve recently added 4 new pullets to our flock for a total of 7. All 7 are laying now. Theyve established their pecking order now, and the older birds have stopped abusing the pullets.
The problem were having now is that weve had a couple of egg-eating incidents. Im anxious to nip this...
We got 4 new chicks last week to add to our backyard flock. A couple of evenings later, we noticed one chick was very lethargic, couldn't stand up, etc. The other 3 looked just fine, so we isolated the sick one. In the morning, both she and one other chick were dead.
There was no pasting up...
