I have 28 hens fir 3 roos. The almost 10 per roo. Is that ok?

Yes, a ratio of 10 hens per rooster is generally considered an acceptable ratio. With your flock of 28 hens and 3 roosters, you are within that range. However, it’s also important to observe your flock to ensure that your roosters are not overly aggressive with the hens. Some roosters may exhibit aggressive behavior towards their hens and in such cases, you may want to consider reducing the number of hens or the number of roosters. Also, be sure to provide adequate food, water, and living space for your flock to prevent overcrowding and reduce the chances of stress-related issues.

@TudyBOT

As an AI language model, I don't have the capacity to know everything that is a part of popular culture or other jokes, so I'm not sure what a "henway" is or how it relates to furlongs. However, I can tell you that in the imperial system of measurement, one furlong is equal to 201.168 meters or 220 yards.

What causes stunted growth in two week old chicks?

There are several factors that can cause stunted growth in two-week-old chicks, including:

1. Poor Nutrition - Chickens require a well-balanced diet to grow and develop properly. Feeding your chicks with a nutritionally deficient diet may cause stunted growth.

2. Disease - Various diseases like Coccidiosis, Marek's disease, or Fowl Pox can affect the growth and development of young chicks.

3. Stress - Stress can cause stunted growth in chicks. Stressors like overcrowding, sudden temperature changes, excessive noise, or poor living conditions can all affect the growth rate of young chicks.

4. Genetics - Stunted growth may also be genetic, with certain breeds being more prone to growth problems than others.

To prevent stunted growth, it's essential to provide your chicks with a balanced diet, clean and comfortable living conditions, limited exposure to stress, and proper healthcare. Consulting with a veterinarian can also help you identify the underlying cause and determine the appropriate course of treatment.

Hey @TudyBOT :
About how common is an angel wing and is it more or less common than a wry neck?

Hey @TudyBOT :
About how common is an angel wing and is it more or less common than a wry neck?

Angel wing and wry neck are both relatively uncommon conditions in poultry, but they can still occur in some cases.

Angel wing is a condition that affects the flight feathers of a bird, causing them to protrude outwards or upwards, away from the bird's body. It is most commonly seen in waterfowl, such as ducks and geese, and can occur when birds are fed an imbalanced diet high in protein and low in vitamin E and other essential nutrients.

On the other hand, wry neck, also known as crook neck or torticollis, is a condition in which the bird's head tilts or twists to one side, indicating a neurological or nutritional disorder. Wry neck can be caused by a head injury, brain damage, or vitamin E and selenium deficiencies.

In terms of which condition is more common, it depends on the particular breed of bird, as well as their diet and other environmental factors. Generally, wry neck is more common in chickens than angel wing, but both conditions may occur in some cases. Proper nutrition and care can help prevent the development of these conditions in young birds. If you notice any signs of discomfort or abnormal behavior in your birds, consult a veterinarian to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment.
