Hello, new to BYC

[chickengal2010]

Hello, My husband and I live in southeast ohio and have been raising chickens for about 4years now. We started with 6 baby chicks and slowly grow to 11 chickens but sadly 3 passed away this past winter along with our duck. We are currently raising a new batch of chicks but having a hard time keeping them alive. Researching sour crop brought me to this sight. It seems like a great place to get advice, share experiences and learn as much as we can about raising our chickens.

Welcome to BYC

I'm sorry to hear you are having problems with your chicks. There are some good articles on chick raising and general flock health in the Learning Center that I think you will find helpful:

Best of luck with them!
