6 weeks ago my silkie rooster got badly injured by his son rooster who was taking over as alpha. We found him cowering under the coop plucked and scabby.We brought him in the garage to heal. Got rid of the other roo and put him back with his flock a week later as he looked healthy and happy...

Thank you. Once I posted, it opened the rest of the thread. Definitely a newbie here. My chicks seem healthy (eating, drinking, etc...) just changed their bedding so will add a bit of yogurt and Apple Cider vinegar. Thanks! Hopefully your chicks are healthy and happy?
Did you ever figure out what was wrong with your chicks? I've got 2 week old Cornish-cross chicks sneezing, normal discharge, on cedar chips. Also eating medicated feed. I'm concerned but not sure what to give them if anything. They are really big I think that's the breed. Henry
