    Baby chicks keep dyeing for no apparent reason.

    Thanks for the reply! I don’t have any photos but they were acting like normal chicks , digging in the wood chips , eating , drinking and running around. They were in an empty shed , so no exposure to chemicals etc . Then all of a sudden they die . The first chick to die was normal in the...

    Bubbly eggs ?

    Hi all , My leghorn eggs arrived today , three days in postage and no breakages ! The only problem is some air cells are wobbly, but I noticed “bubbles” in all the exchequer leghorns and no bubbles in the lavenders ? It doesn’t look like part of the air cell . Will this kill the chicks ? Is...

    Which is the lesser evil? Stress of moving inside or stress of chainsaw noise?

    Personally, I’d say moving them would be more stressful , but as long as it’s for a day I think they would be fine. Good luck !
