Hi!
I’m a new member. I have three older chickens - 2 are buff Orpington and one who is a bantam no other info. I just got 5 chicks 4 days ago and 2 have passed so I’m needing some advice. The new ones are all polish as I love them. They are just so cute to me! I’ve had chickens for about 3 years but the others came to me as rescues. I only have hens as I can’t have roosters where I live.

I have four grandkids and three are old enough to love the chickens. I have four dogs and one cat too.

Thank you all and glad to be here!
Darlene

Hi Darlene, sorry you lost 2 of your chicks. Best of luck with the others, you might try some electrolytes in their water (like sav-a-chick).

Best wishes!

Hi Darlene, are the new chickens adults? Do you have them quarantined from your original flock?
