In the Brooder
Hi I started with 2 week old black sex linked chicks first disaster 8 weeks old put babies in coop 1 squeezed through coop dog ate him his sister chick cried all night would escape from brooder and jump in bed with me thought she was going to die from broken heart. Bought a second chick same age added to brooder after 2 days they became fast friends. Next mistake I also bright 2 laying hen .... to big to get out of coop, they are happy and payed first egg today I was so proud. Well now that I am a successful chicken handler I decided to introduce the chicks to the coop. Big birds jumped on babies pulling out feathers!!!!! I saved them and put them back in brooder. What do I do now???!!!!!!
