Baby chick, no heat or hen..help.

Date sort Score sort
Got a heating pad that doesn't shut off every two hours or so? If you do, you can make a frame from a cookie cooling rack or something similar and make it a heat pad cave, similar to what's discussed in this thread:

It doesn't have to be fancy - just the rack raised up enough for the chick to scoot under and an old towel on top to try to keep the pad cleaner. You can put in a stuffed toy with it, and you can add a mirror. Some say that works too.

But the other questions are do you have chick started for it? A way to water it so it doesn't get chilled from running through it and getting wet? A sturdy safe place to keep it? Good luck with it! I so hope it makes it.
