I have the chick in question separated from the others now and no change. The other 11 in the brooder are all looking very well

We brought home a dozen chicks on the weekend all seemed ok. A day or so later I have a chick that is panting, not standing very often and does not appear to be eating it drinking. I thought for sure that when I got home yesterday it would be dead, but it's still alive! Very so often it...

We poured some warm water over it and I have tried pulling it, but it won't budge. The thing is very ugly, black and very rotten It looks like it has been there for a while. She's running around the yard with the others, but I think her days are numbered. Thanks for the response

These 5 are coming from a terrific farm and have been living with about 45 more chickens. They have been raised on quality organic feed, lots of kitchen scraps in a beautiful barn with lots of field space to roam. Thanks for the reply

My coop is finally built and instead of waiting til Spring for chicks I will be adopting 4 pullets and a rooster from a client who has too many. What can I do or expect after introducing them to their new digs? Thanks
