For our very first chickens ever, we ordered a laying hen assortment from McMurray. To our surprise we got two Polish crested roosters also. Although beautiful, these roosters seems to cause strife among our hens, and they are just reaching laying age.
Should we keep the roosters separtate...
Does anyone have any experience with de-beaking a chick to keep it from hurting other chicks? I have a really aggressive one that I'm keeping isolated.
Ok, got your attention. I'm brand new to chicks but I ordered 25 mixed layer pullet chicks from McMurray. They arrived alive, but three of one variety, look like polish with yellow topknot, have one eye closed all the time. Will this open later?
I have one little pecker I have had...
