my chicken adventure started with six cute fluffy yellow chicks. i babied them horribly and now they follow me around, with some distractions but not many. well one does anyway, i have two obnoxious dogs that howl and screech like banshees, so my mother brought them with her to pick me up from work. they were about 12 weeks old and the stress from the ride left them nearly dead. we didn't realize it until she went to put them in their pen and two of them passed, three were not doing well at all and one was in shock but able to walk fine. we worked on the three, but another one died and so we brought them in the house. i worked on reviving one of the chickens for over an hour before it died as well. that left us with two, one out of the two died while i was at work. i still have one of my babies, but i'm still devastated about my other five... ironically i work at a chicken fast food place. my boss found out what happened and offered to give me a couple of his chickens. unfortunately the two are already laying and my baby is still 12 weeks, so there is at least a 6 week difference. we named the red one sunrise(i wanted to name her ninja because she has a broken beak) the black one is pepper(mom said she looks like a buzzard, how rude) and my baby is queeny (because she was queen of the flock) anyway i think that sums everything up...
and Welcome To BYC! Sorry about the loss of your chicks 
good luck with Queeny and the new flock.
