Update ..... the Daktarin has been working. She’s nearly back to her old self. Unfortunately when I reintroduced her the other smallest chick, a Legbar, went for her repeatedly so that one is now in chicken jail. She is happily clucking around withe the 2 copper Marans. Being gluttons for...

No we’ve only had our chicks since July but, although it’s a possibility as we’ve had cattle grazing on our land, they’re segregated by wire mesh and the chicks don’t fly over. They’re also in an Eglu which is cleaned and moved twice a week and disinfected. I think the other posters are...
