HI!
new here
pretty stoked to have some ducklings and just got a couple chickens!

pretty much in new territory when it comes to chickens.
the women i got them from had them all in individual cells like 18x18x32
they have clipped but crooked beaks.
i think she said they were eating corn crumble?
im not sure its all new and greek to me but i had been given a bag of 18% lay
so they er eating that and worms and their poo is yellow and runny and tehy seem happy enough.
they laid an egg already.
is this just because i changed their diet?
is the stress of a new diet on top of everything else going to cause them to molt?
how long will they molt for?

anyways.
THANKYOU! So happy that i have th einternet. answers at your finger tips
