    Lost 2 chicks

    I had 20 chicks. Today they are 10 days old. I have a coop that is far off the ground. I keep taking them out each day, for some sun. They are definitely big enough if I raise the lid on the nesting box to fly out. This back and forth and back and forth has caused me to lose 2 chicks. So...

    Too much poop

    My light Brahma has way too much poop and watery coming out. She seems to be energetic, eating fine. But there’s no way this is normal. I don’t believe it’s coccidiosis. My other 3 hens are not affected, so it’s not contagious. It’s all over her back end. So I have given her a bath. She...
