Checked on them yesterday AM, one chick was dead, two injured due to pecking.

The dead one had his head caved in.
less severe injury i fixed at home.
most severe injury the wife took to a vet before I could put it down.

$70 later, I now know how to deal with chicken skin injuries.

how tf did a chicken get his head caved in

did they peck him

@UncleDrMrBaby i think you need to put a red light/ a red filter in front of their light source

i think it avoids them from pecking their fellows

i'm not good in this tho

but you should try i think they do this normally

red lights

also yeah just put em down its quicker kek

pecking is natural.
There's literally an expression called "the pecking order", and we get it from chickens. Its how they establish social hierarchy.

ah

interesting

Its not usually this metal though

yeah

but really try the redlight thing except if they're outside

its what you do when they just got outside of the eggs

Anyways, i have a $70 chicken now, and the vet said that chicken skin is the best skin on the planet. He literally picked the trash out of the wound, folded it shut and stapled it.
No wound rinse, no antibiotics before or after... just staples.

well

use electrical tape next time

save 70dolalrs

he said it will heal fine because chicken skin is magical. He also said no need to remove the staples, the chicken will forget they exist, and the feathers will cover so we won't see them.

I already have 3 staple guns in my big medkit

I'll be getting more for my animals

good enough

i have plety of space on my roof terrace. how many buckets (for planting potatoes) should i get maximum? First time potatoe grower (money is no issue)

why not make a soil box instead of buckets

buckets can blow off

with wind

I can move the 5 gallon buckets

if i buy 10 buckets as a beginner, would that be overkill or am I worrying about nothing? the more the better?

Yes
