    Thank you, so so much. I really appreciate your response! Not having had chickens before, it’s hard for me to make the call. She was up and moving around (trying to eat) this morning when I checked, so she isn’t at the point where she is just sleeping all the time. last night after I posted...

    Scissor Beak in almost 2-week old chick

    Hi there! I am brand spankin’ new to this forum. In fact, I joined specifically to get some insight on this, although I imagine it will help in many other ways. About five weeks ago, I got my first chickens. We got six “mutt” pullets locally who are all doing great and are healthy. Two weeks...
