Hey all,
I was on this board a long time ago when we first got our baby ladies and they are doing great..We have lost a few to unrelated causes but otherwise we have a small diverse flock of two Australorps, 1 Americana and 1 Gold Laced Wyndote. I love reading the posts and I learn a ton so I decided I better get busy posting again. We decided, well my son decided it was time to get a few more baby ladies. We wanted to get Easter Eggers but decided to go to our local feed store and get the Black Sex Links they had. Well we got them home and one is super small and came with a very poopy bottom. I cleaned her off but she is really laboring and I am not sure she is going to make it. Another one has a huge bump on her neck. Now this is the first time we bought from this feed store as we usually go to our other local feed store but they didn't have any chicks in. I am thinking the poor little girl will die and I am wondering if the one with the bump is going to be alright although she is acting fine along with the other two.. Are bumps on chickens normal and should I be worried about the others getting sick??? I am worried about all of them now.. Thanks a bunch! Marney
