Hi all *waves* I am a new chicken Mom who had a very rough start. I bought 8 chickens (2 sets of four a week apart) lost all but one! They seemed to have a contageous disease that somehow our EE survived. Since then I have been studying like mad as to not repeat the experience. Ordered from McMurry (with both vaccinations) and will be getting our new chicks in one week! So many times I have been referred back here when posing a question! Thanks BYC for a wonderful community! ☆

Hello there and welcome to BYC!

Oh, I am so sorry for your losses!! That is terrible.

Unless you had a necropsy done on them, you may never know what happened to them. But at least you still have Cora! Give her lots of lovin and enjoy her company.

Congrats on the soon to be new chicks! Have you stopped by our learning center yet? Lots of good articles on all the aspects of caring for your flock. I will also include the link to a good article on raising your chicks for the first 2 months...
