In our effort to decide what to do with the chicks it occurred to me that we set the chicks cage right on top of our dog's cage that he sleeps in every night and when we leave the house. The chicks have thrown their bedding all over which falls onto the dog frequently and he has been outside in...

I'm not sure where to find that info. Have to do some googling. The 4 week Olds seem improved a bit with more energy and not much sneezing today since I gave the antibiotic last night. The silkie I think might be too far gone. I really hate to have to cull seemingly fine chicks. This is so...
