    Sick Chick?

    So these are my first chickens/chicks/barnyard animals. Right now I have three new chicks separated from the one that was with the sick ones. And I'll treat the sick one as soon as the meds arrive today. The question is: 1. Should I also treat the new chicks? 2. How long before I can...

    Sick Chick?

    Hi, I'm a new chicken owner and just recently ordered 4 4-week old chicks from Murray Mc Murray - they were shipped from Texas and spent 2 days in the mail on their way here. On arrival, one of them seemed to have blood in her stool - I called and let the hatchery know and they said to just...
