I feel bad but I took baby from under mamma cuz last fridays baby disappeared and I didnt want anything to happen to it. He is so lonely I have been in with him off and on all day . will he be alright?
will do sending you rain right now!!!! Tell me if it works. Yes they drink and pick at the mud puddles even thou they have food in a dish and water in a water holder. I have had them for 3 years and just seems extra wet at this time and worried they will be sick
Will your chickens be alright always in muddy conditions. I mean I do let them get out of their muddy pen inbetween rains to free range in the grass. but man they are in mud most of thetime here lately
