    Dead Little cockerel, how did he die?

    I have 3 little roosters, 12 weeks, and 2 hens living in a large dog cage as a grow out pen until they can join the older ones in the coop.

    Smelly clear liquid dripping out of hens beak- sour crop???

    Take a guess on these chicks breeds! (mom and dad pictured too)

    This clutch of chicks is around 4 weeks I believe, they are the products of 2 mixed breed parents. When born there were 4 blonde chicks, and 2 black.. as the weeks went by they have all taken on their own patterning. This has me wondering what they'll look like once grown. Do any of these...
