"The chick isn't anything special it's just that these are my first set of chicks, and I don't know if I have it in me to cull a chicken yet.  I thought I would see what people with more experience thought, and if it is something the chick could come…"

Hi, I am new to this site and chickens.  I purchased a baby chick from a local feed shop last week.  I looked over the chick before purchasing it and it seemed fine, but it was very loud in the shop.  When we were on the way home we noticed it had a…
