    Molting... not eating, rarely drinking...

    I only have 3 girls and this is their first time molting. I'm new to this so I'm not sure what normal molting behavior is like. The girls are miserable. They've been hanging out in the coop most of the day (I do suspect it's also possible they are doing this because of the time of year and...

    I’m back with my 5th question. These tiny fluffs have been a source of constant worry. I have one chick that is a lot smaller than the rest, and isn’t very good at eating. She will just stand and stare at the food and maybe peck at it once or twice, while the rest of the chicks are just...

    One of my chicks sleeps way more than the others and doesn’t eat nearly as much as the rest, is she okay?

    My sister brought home 4 baby chicks from our local feed store 5 days ago. I’ve observed them quite a bit since they’ve come home. 3 of them are super energetic and like to run around and flap their little wings. They eat and drink plenty. Those 3 have a routine where they sleep at the same...
