  Forum: Raising Baby ChicksThread: 3 week old chicks with bare chests?
  Mine did that too, but they're fine now. I'm thinking that laying on the bedding instead of roosting, rubs their feathers off.	View Full Post	View Full Post	5/12/12 at 7:24pm	featheredroots

  I'm so sorry that you're going through this. I don't know what's going on with chicks this year, but we lost 10 altogether. All six of the first batch, from a vitamin deficiency, and 4 of the second batch,...	View Full Post	View Full Post	5/12/12 at 12:49pm	featheredroots

  Forum: Raising Baby ChicksThread: Runt or Roo? (pics attached)
  I know it's hard to tell, and the pics probably aren't the best (I'm still getting used to the new camera), but I'm wondering if our little white EE is a runt or perhaps a small rooster. She's taking a very long time to...
