We got some chicks at our local feed store and two out of five chicks were roosters. They have been driving us crazy with there constant crowing. We live in a urban area so the houses are close together. The neighbors haven't complained yet though.
They have been on Craig's list for a...

My Silver Duckwing Old English Game Bantam is about 19 weeks old. I'm hoping she'll lay soon. She hasn't been squatting much, but shes been a bit noisier.
I looked at a few posts about Cocci and now I'm sure that's what she has.

This was the only product I found on the Orscheln's website with Amprolium in it...
The symptoms you mentioned are exactly what my chick has. It started yesterday, but I haven't seen the runny poop yet. I've been adding vitamin B to her food and water because I thought what she had was vitamin deficiency. Where can I buy the product you gave your chick? Do they sell it at farm...

Thanks for the advice! I am calling the white one Dovey for now. I still have the brown one to name. She's up and walking now.(turns out she was suffering from vitamin defiancey) Cheerio is sick now. Thanks for the advice! Might name the brown one waffles.
I use two dog cages put together for my 6 weeks. If you have time to let them out and watch them go explore you can have a smaller cage. At night mine are in the garage in a few taped together. This may be a little small for two month pullets. But as long as they are only in there for a couple...
I already named two of them. One's Kitty she makes a sound like a purr its cute. The other is Cheerio just because its a cute name. I still have two to name though one's white and is really sweet, the other is a brown one and wont stand up or walk. Thanks for the advice!
I'm getting some chicks soon and I need help naming. Here are some names I like:
Gizmo
Bitzi
Presto
I like unusual names like gizmo or presto. Not like peep or something. Thanks!
