Hatching
New to raising chicks. I love it!!! I hand made a two floor brooder, We live in mass it has been 78 during the day 60 at night. Our "mother" of the group, she wuickly establised pecking order, died overnight! I am so devastated! I cleaned the coop seperated 6 and 6 on each floor. They go outside in their coop during the day a few hours, not on grass yet? No bloody stool, she was fine before i went to sleep? All the otjers seem fine! I cleaned all their feet the cage added extra food a perch? Could it be she was trampled? Or does not have enough room? Should i make a temporary outdoor place for them until the master coup is done?
