    Chicks and Chickens Separated

    We sadly are only down to one laying hen so we decided to try again with more baby chicks. Would you suggest to still keep them (the laying hen and chicks) separate once it’s time for the chicks to come out?

    Is George Stressed?

    George is my smallest baby, one of two OEGBs in my little flock, and never wants anything to do with running after treats or me holding them. Also, he doesn’t often lay with his peers.

    Taking babies

    I am trying to sell some of my month old chicks because I have too many for my area where I live. Will mama know I took some of the babies if I leave some with her?

    Crusty Eye ... Keeps it Closed

    One of my 2 week old chicks has a crusty eye and keeps it closed. I don't see any wet discharge from other eye or nose. She seems to be ok otherwise, eating and drinking ok. Poop seems to be ok too. Activity is ok. What should I do? Warm compress and observe her? Should I separate...

    Help! Hen injured by the rest of flock. How can I help her?

    I've got 11 chickens 9 which are hens. This summer one decided she likes to leave the coop and eat apples under the tree. This got to the point where she just wouldn't stay in the pasture with the other chickens. She lived in the horse barn with the cats until it got to cold and she needed the...

    Baby Chicks and Adult Chickens - Keep them separate or keep them together?

    Hi everyone, I own two 10 month old chickens and I am soon to get 1/2 new baby chickens. Should we get a completely separate cage, or put them together? Any other suggestions? I'm just scared that if I put the babies with the adults, they will get picked on. Thank you for your time and all...
