7 day old chick
We picked up eight chicks of various breeds from TSC on Tuesday, so assuming they were 2 days old at that time, today would make them 7 days old. We have one that we thought had sway leg so we took measure to correct that. She still just lays and does nothing. She will stand if we pick her up...- TheCluckandStrut

Axe/hatchet method of chicken dispatch - is it the most humane and cost-efficient method?

But the more I research, the more I'm unsure...- HenriettaPizzaNolan
