Hello, I am a brand new owner of six baby chicks. Three are yellow and three are a mixture of black and yellow. I got them from TSC and they were labeled as "pullets." Unfortunately the employees could not tell me what breed they were nor could he tell me what hatchery they came from. So now I have a couple of questions for the group.....
1. I did not buy medicated feed and now I see a LITTLE red in their poop. Is this normal or is this an early sign of illness? I am feed them Dumor chick feed. This is non-medicated.
2. When I change the pine bedding I take them outside to the run and let them walk around a little. Is this ok or is it too early? I bought the chicks on 3/26/2016.
Thank you for any advice.
