    We had a big storm last week and I left the buckets of food outside and 1 got soaked. I put the top back on and put it in the shed and left for a family reunion for the weekend. A friend came and fed them for us but he used the food that wasn't soaked. I came back last night and woke up this...

    That's Not Chicken Food!

    Question about what to feed chicks

    I have 9 2 week old chicks and yesterday it was very warm so we let them outside for a while. One of the kids noticed that the chicks where all chasing another chick and that chick had something in her mouth. I turned out to be a worm and I don't like touching worms so I didn't take it away. She...

    Poop stuck to back of my 6 day old chick!!!

    Ok i noticed one of my chicks had dried up poop near its butt but I saw it poop later that night. The next day it had more dried poop. I heard its really bad when a chick can't poop. I don't know how to remove the poop without harming it. They seem so fragile and I don't want to manhandle them...
