the temperature is been lowered every day and is now at 28*C but the real problem (maybe not really a problem) is why is it sooooo active?

The baby chick is just 2 days old (at the time I posted this comment). But the weird thing is that this lone chick is soooooooooo active and slept last night at like 10 pm, it continuously chirps loudly (probably cos it's alone) but in terms of eating and drinking, it's normal. And for some...

Last night, at 2 o clock, my dad realised the light bulb for the brooder was broken so he changed it but this bulb produced a blue-ish colour and not much heat as the thermometer was only at 28 degrees celcius for six whole hours and the lonely chick in the brooder is still alive. So my brother...

I have to say this 'sideways skitter' of his is pretty amusing ^_^ . Still, I should check whether the eggs are fertile or not soon as he might have put full interest in me and not in his 'wife' Newbie . Anyhow, for the time being, me and Fluffy are gay buddies
