We originally started off last May with four Barred Rock chicks. We lost one in the summer after an injury and we lost another last weekend to a dog attack. Besides being tramatized by how fragile these guys can be, I'm wondering whether two left is alright? I know if we were down to one, it wouldn't be good, but how is this recent loss affecting them? Do they need to have a certain number, or is two alright? We really don't want to do the chick thing again this year, but I feel bad for our girls, they look lonely.
