I am just not having good luck with these auction chickens.
I had to put 2 more in the infermary last week and they were much better. So I let them out in the yard with the others. I went for a walk with the goats out back and when I got back one of them was in the duck pond ( just a little kiddie pool) drowned.
I felt so bad. The other one was right next to the pool. Poor thing. So I'm down to 7 and I hate odd numbers.

Oh no, Kristin! That so sad! Hopefully the rest flourish!
I'm sorry about the chickens! I hope things get better for you soon. I have been wanting to raise some laying hens. I just have to get my dad on board.
Hi Kris, You would probably have better luck if you stayed away from Auction birds and bought them instead from a reputable breeder. Contact your local poultry club and get a list of breeders. Usually auction birds come with a shady history. Good luck, Sara
