So as of now i have 6 3 week old chicks and outside i have 2 about a year old chickens. Before we move the young chicks out we need to build a bigger coop. how should i introduce the young ones? Do i put the young ones in the new coop first? or the old ones in the new coop first?
it seems that over night one of my chicks had an accident on one of the other chicks' back. there is poop stuck in a clump on her back in the down feathers. how should I go about cleaning this up??
i recently purchased 4 chicks that were 95% sexed. the chicks are two weeks old today, one of the rhode island reds is much larger than the others (we have 2 rir's, 1 silver laced wyandotte, and 1 jersey giant). so the 1 rir is much larger than the other one and has many more feathers. one thing...
how should I get my four week old chicks to be less scared of me? should I pick them up even if they run in fear away from my hand? or should I not handle them as much?
