Please help.

I took this chick of the brooder just for the picture but I noticed something on the wing of the chick. What is that? A burn or just skin :( ? Or should I not worry about it?

Okay thanks but they have space to be cool but tonight and in the morning it will be cold in Michigan will the bulb keep them warm?

I really don't know and how what kind of thermostat would I need to find the temperature? I put the thermostat directly on the bulb it was like 97 or 100

I put them in the garage now it is going to be in the high 40s and low 50s at night with one heat lamp and the heat lamp 22 inches from the bottom of the brooder is that good?

This is my brooder, the chicks seem fine right?

It is usually seventy or sixty eight degrees where my brooder is, (it's inside my house) my brooder wall is 17 inches, so how many inches should be from the tip top of the wall to the 250 watt heat bulb? (I have five chicks).

Thanks and yes that is probably what he meant but he said some are white and some are black? By the looks of it, leghorns are usually white but some people on BYC took a picture of their white Plymouth rocks and they were brown so can the white Plymouth rocks I have become brown?

Here this is a website specifically on silkies, and this article is about how to find out their sex. http://silkiechickens.co/Sexing-Silkies.html By the way why can't you have a rooster in town?

At the Tractor supply I go to, I got leghorns and white plymouth rocks.

The chicks I have always do that, don't worry they are just stretching.

I wish someone had told me how much baby chicks poop! There is always so much poop in their brooder. I also wish I was told how hard setting up the heat lamp would be (well for me it was).

You can't remove the dye anyways, and don't try to remove the dye you might harm them just wait for it to go away and no when people have dyed chicks they do not die quickly. Don't worry, just take good care of them.

Can anyone please reply and tell me if this is a good idea..

I have 5 chicks either 3 are leghorn or 2 or 3 barred rock or 2 barred rock. I can not tell though, I thought barred rock chicks were black but mine are all yellow.. But the guy at tractor supply wrote the leghorn and barred rock on the box the chicks were in.

It can possibly work, I have five one week old chicks and I have them in a normal roughneck rubbermaid bin but I will take them out soon because chickens grow fast.

I am thinking about moving my brooder to my garage, I already put up a secure hook you can say. It is twelve inches above the bin (brooder) and I put the 250 watt heat lamp above and it stays on good and it is secure but after the lamp in my garage (I already have everything set up in my...

Thanks they are back to normal now and I put the outside without a heat lamp it's 75 degrees and the sun is shining on a part of the brooder and the other part is cool and shadowy they seem to be enjoying it, but when they are 5 five weeks old they still need the lamp? And should I just get a...
