Baby Chick care timeline

[Saveria]

Thank you for your reply. I am completely new to chickens. I am very good with Dobermans but chickens are a different genre.

Your reply will help me start my knowledge base on what to expect and how to handle situations.
lice
fleas
ticks
bumblefoot
egg bound
bully pecking
Coidosis?? diarrhea

Just trying to educate and prepare for the potential issues.

So, I can't write all of those out (my husband already gave me a look when he saw me writing the long post above ), but I know there are great articles on most of those topics, and probably good threads if not articles. Also, you don't have to memorize treatments, you just have to know how to spot them. Treatments you can just look up and research.

Or just do the search in the corner.

Any info you can't find (for example, I am not sure there is anything about ticks on here), just start a thread on that specific topic and your question, that way it is more likely someone will pick it up.

Best of luck!

Thank you. I was very blessed to be given American Gamefowl when I started out. They're the lifeblood of my flock
