One of my year old Black sex-links seemed to have disappeared, but she was buried alive by flock. I found her and an egg partially buried in a corner of the run on day 2 or 3. She was lethargic, but took water when offered, then ate an egg yolk after encouragement. I gave Sav-a-chick...

Hello all, it's the chook spoiler again. :lol: I've added six day-old black sex-link chicks to my flock, my first go with chicks.

Hello, I'm Meg and I think I've been reading as a background lurker since at least 2010 on and off. A friend and I have found this or similarly named community many times over the years as we dreamed about our future flock, and here I am, finally with birds of my own! :yesss: I grew up around...
