To keep them from freezing, I have a shut off valve on the PVC pipe between the water tank and the pipe with the nipples. If the weather is freezing I just open the valve enough to let it drip. I also have the water tank insulated. This keeps it from freezing and from developing slime since...

I gave my chick some minced up strawberry and now his crop is large. I didn't give him grit. I thought the strawberry pieces were tiny and soft. He is acting normal. Please tell me I didn't kill my baby! If I get him some grit tomorrow will that be soon enough?

I just started the medicated today. I was worried about coccidia. I clean out their brooder every two days and the food and water every day but they still poop everywhere! I was afraid they would get sick. I am realizing this is just like having children! You worry you are doing the right...
