I got 12 babies a week ago Sunday, The smallest chicks I have ever gotten, all were very active and looked happy, healthy and friendly.
They have a large pen that has pine shavings on the bottom. they have a heat lamp that keeps one end warm and they can move out of the heat if they want to.
We are giving them un-medicated chick starter and fresh water every day 2 x a day, they also get a few mean worms every day,
I have even brought in a large pan of dirt from the outside coop to get them used to it,
I have lost 3 babies now and don't know what to do for them, if I move them in front of the food or the water they eat and drink.
please give me any advice that you think might be helpful. I am very worried and feel heloless,
Shelly
