Chirping
I have 6 chicks, 4 are a little over 2 weeks old and 2 and just over 1 week old. The 1 week olds are significantly smaller than the big girls, but they do seem to be eating and drinking enough. They all seem to get severely stressed when I change their bedding or try to hold them. It makes me not even want to try picking them up because they freak out so badly. What do I do here, pick them up more or leave them be? My kids also want to hold them all the time and I want the birds to be used to the kids. Any advice here? Also, one of my 1 week old chicks has been starting to get pasted up since yesterday. I have wiped it off with a warm wet paper towel but what should I do to treat it/fix it? Its just the one chick that is pasting up, hopefully there others dont start.
