    I found a little black bug on one of my hens today, it looked like a flea beetle. I am trying to find more information on what these bugs may be but until I do, my current plan is to treat is as a mite infestation (hosing down coop, covering it with DE, treating chickens, etc.) and hope for the...

    Impacted Crop, Marek's Disease, Predator Attack or Something Else Entirely?

    Okay, thank you. They seem healthy otherwise. Yeah, these little guys are funny and pretty lazy. My older chicks would flock to one corner when I would clean their enclosure but these guys run in my way all the time. If I go to move the feeder, they'll run straight for it like its their last...

One of them was panting but I cannot move the light any higher so i moved it back as much as I can, which is not very far. Should I start turning the light on and off periodically...

    Impacted Crop, Marek's Disease, Predator Attack or Something Else Entirely?

    I am concerned about bumps these chicks have on their wings and a large lump they each have on the same sides of their neck/shoulder. One of them has a bottom that looks very red as well. I have only had them in my care for a couple of hours. I am unsure how sick they maybe or if I can nurse...
