    Chick sudden death?

    One of my 8wk old chicks suddenly passed and I have no idea what caused it. He was completely fine just 2hrs ago, he was running around, and eating/drinking.

    When life gives you roosters, get more roosters

    I got a silkie roo back in october thinking I'd just get some hens for him since my older roo is with my 5 hens, so obviously I got 10 st run bantams (I definitely did not plan on "accidentally" getting roosters at all, that was never considered) So far, my 3 11wk chicks all turned out to be...

    Rooster with broken beak, no vet available

    My orpington rooster broke the top of his beak today sometime between 12pm-3pm, and the only vet that's open can't see him today so I need advice on what first aid I can do. I already separated him and have him in a tub until I can get something bigger to put him in.

    Hen attacking other chicks

    I haven't found anything on this, so I thought I'd ask here For context, I have 7 chicks, 2 are being raised by a hen, and the others were from a feed store. They're all about 5-6 weeks old. I've had the store chicks for 3 weeks but they weren't introduced to the other chicks until last weekend...

    I got these guys from the feed store a few weeks ago, and was told all except the EE were pullets they're about 5-6 weeks old now, the EE is looking more like a pullet to me, but I'm worried that the orpington might be a roo
