Hi there! I am from the Pocono area - close to Stroudsburg (Monroe County). I just got my chicks about a month ago and I am looking for a vet in the area. Anyone know of a good one? Thank you!
I have 8, 4 or 5 week old chicks. I believe they are all hens - although we are thinking one might be a rooster and one is actually a guinea hen...Just yesterday only one of my chicks was being picked on by the others. Her tail was picked bald on one side and she was all raw and bloody. What...
Thank you! I have been keeping a close eye on them and so far so good. I see no signs of any bugs, the feathers that were missing are coming back in nicely, and they are eating and drinking normally. Hopefully I have a case of beginner's luck!
Thank you everyone for the replies! The two new ones are supposedly RIR, but again, the guy could have sold me turkeys and I'd have no idea :)
I have checked them for mites and lice and I can't really see anything on them. They are still in a brooder, so I just cleaned it out with vinegar today...
I'm sure it's advisable to never purchase chickens from a flea market, but I live in a farm community and decided to take the risk. I may have made a stupid decision and need some advice if anyone can help. I purchased 6 chicks from the farm store a few weeks ago and they have all been growing...
