    Our little Anna. Our chicken with a vision problem.

    I'm a new chicken parent and got my first flock of 6 chickens in May. And one chick stood out of my flock right from the start, the whole way home she peeped unless I held her in my lap where she would sleep. And as she grew she just wasn't like the others. She didn't do what the others would...

    Multiple Questions Please Help

You can use DE/pool filter sand but I wouldn't use the pool supply one cause that would have chemicals in it since it is for the pool? But you can buy untreated ones at farm supply but I...

    One chick is unlike the others...

    Good news is she is doing fine, and after some research I didn't believe she had coccidiosis. I went out and bought pedialyte instead and she was much better. I have now come to the conclusion that I think she just doesn't like grass? Cause she only has the weird "symptoms" (sleepiness, not...
