Yes, let them figure out the roosting thing, chickens are just weird that way. As long as no one is getting beaten up, I leave them to their drama...
You mean, let Rahab have eggs and brood them. Tamar also has some eggs too? So you'd have 2 broody hens with chicks in the same coop/run at...

LOL Oh my, the mess they can make. Water stations filled with debris. Good idea to place them higher, but I bet they...
They are so sweet, love the videos.
I did notice LC was crying quite a bit in the first video, but not as much in the second. She's holding her own it looks like for now, just do the best you can with the vitamins and seeing that she's eating when you're around. Hopefully this too shall...
For all the chicks and Martha, I'd give the electrolytes in the drinking water for a couple of days as little boost.
For Little Chick that is struggling, she can of course drink that too, but I'd still pull her aside and get the E and B-Complex into her.
