Ahhhh, I think the same guy has called me. I was also a little slow, we had quite a sexual conversation until it dawned on me what HE was talking about. I too hung up.

When I used their FedEx number, it cost me nothing.  The FedEx office told me they pay.

They send you a bill. I bet your sig pays them.

If he was thin I *really doubt* it was poisoning. I'm no expert, but I think the most likely cause of death would be one of the following:

• Marek's, especially if he wasn't vaccinated.
• Parasites, internal, external or both.
• Bacterial infection.

Does anyone have an answer to my question?

I was think about 4 months but don't go by dates. I always put them in together as a group so there is no 1 just being singled out to be noticed & picked on.

My dels have started challenging each other. However I only see this happen when they are let out of the coop into the yard. When they are all in the small coop's run they are all nice to each other and get along really nicely and dont make hardly any noise. Let them out into the yard and then they are all over the place charging here and there. It looks kind of funny when they run with the wings out and the heads down low. They look like little dive bombers or something. Then they pull up short stand up tall and sometimes almost sitting on their tails pointing feet at each other. Nobody actualy hurts anyone they just seem to be sizing each other up. We did get one incident where one pecked at the neck of the other and grabbed them but it was quickly settled when the other pecked back and stood her ground.

They also started chasing the little buffs when they were outside too. Not very intently but enough to cause the littles to run around a bit.

I wonder if this will continue when they have the larger run to be in or is them just letting off a bit of steam.

They definitely chase each other if someone has a coveted treat.

Is this normal. I wouldnt say they are outright fighting but just establishing who is in charge.

I say yes, Every now and then even in established order things get reinforced.no harm done ,

I would hate to havr to think someone would do that. Sorry for your loss.

I can't believe how fast one of my Splash Laced Red Wyandotte chicks is feathering out. She's less than 5 weeks old and the only adult feathers she doesn't have yet are the ones on her neck. She even is getting them on her head already.
Is the speed of feathering out an indication of gender? The girls feather out faster, correct? Her sibling that is the same age only has wings & shoulder feathers.

Bumping this one up, too. Anyone? Sorry, I know, I'm always full of questions.
