    Hi everyone. I am really devastated right now. I only bought 4 and she was an easter egger bantam from MPC. She was 4 days old. When we got her, she was the most hyper, explorative one. She chirped so loud it gave me a headache sometimes. She was so hyper! Climbing everywhere. Then she just...

    My pullet is dying, what do I do?

    UPDATE: She has passed away most likely due to suffocation (another chicken was on her). Feel free to continue this conversation for future reference.
