Hatch date of October 30th so 5 1/2 weeks right now.
To make matters worse, the chicks had a hard trip and I lost quite a few black...

Hi, I have 4 French Black Copper Maran pullets 6-7 weeks old. They have white feathering in their breast and white feathers in their wings.
Is this normal, and will it go away? These are Cackle Hatchery chicks
Thanks!
About a week ago I found one of my chicks tail feathers and vent had been pecked by others and it was raw and bloody looking. She is separated and in a bird cage inside the brooder so she can see others. I’ve been applying Vetericyn and Blue Kote. It has been healing up nicely although she is...
I’m in AZ, I lost a chicken due to heat a couple weeks ago. I since purchased this evap cooler off of Amazon and it has done the trick for me. I’ve been letting it run 24 hours a day as our lows are still hot at night. It’s definitely made a difference, the chickens will stand in front of it...

Hi all,
I will be moving the chicks out of the brooder and into the coop soon, and besides being worried about how hot it is, I've been finding dead doves outside. I've found 3, two right by the coop area :(
We do get a lot of doves hanging out, hoping they can get chicken feed which is...

Hi all, I have 20 chicks in a brooder that are 4 weeks old. About a week ago, one of the Easter Eggers has become a bully and is mean. She/he grabs the feathers on the back of the other chicks necks and won’t let go for a couple seconds while the other chicks screams and tries to get away.

Chickie swing installed in the brooder yesterday. I would say it’s a hit! I’ve got one EE named Squirrel that gets on it multiple times a day!
I’ve seen about 4 chicks on it so far, the chicks are 23 days old.

Hi,
