I have 12 chicks ranging from 13-15 weeks. The biggest of them all is a bit strange. She falls asleep instantly and tucks her head to her chest or lays with her head on the ground. Then she jumps up and walks off normally. Her feathers are not messy and she eats and drinks very well. There's no...
Hi everyone. I'm back with more pics of my flock. They are about 9-10 weeks old at this point. I have 3 different breeds and they seem to be doing very well together.
