    Hello all, I've got a 2-week old baby bantam Rhode Island Red female who's having persistent issues with constipation. This has been going on for about 4 days, and she is now smaller than her 4 growing sisters, none of whom have or have had any issues whatsoever. I also have 6 bantam Dominques...

    Greetings all

Currently I have 5 sexed bantam Rhode Island Red females, 5 sexed bantam Dominique females, and 1 sexed bantam Dominique rooster. I hope. Only 90% accuracy on the sexing I am...
