I bought rooster booster which is just vitamins and I took a syringe and put just 4 drops and got it in mine... started to perk up right away and did it again in another 4 and he/she is fine.. did try same thing on a 2nd one but didnt make it... not sure what is going on this year just seems...
I think I would try having enough food in feeder that they are not looking at you as a Competitor
I had a rooster that got agreesive and nothing could be done when he chased my neighbor down the road
it was time he went to freezer camp!!
The next one I got I fed him a little treat of some...
I have always used a treat to get mine to come when called have done that to put them in pen if we are leaving in mid afternoon ect... HOWEVER yesterday happened to look out window and here comes 2 coyote' s ran outside with my dog and a slice of wheat bread
started calling and they ALL came a...
I think that is a good idea
I always have mine separate for a number of reasons for safety and the fact they need chick starter and I prefer to do
1 bag of medicated just to get them on good start then go to unmedicated
I had a friend that gave me 3 baby chicks that were week old mom died...
The coop looks Beautiful!! as far as the nest boxes go I would attach them on the outside where you could lift up to get the eggs
and to clean without stepping inside the coop also would give you more space for them.
I had my husband do that on my latest coop and it works great!!
BTW I love...
Let me know how the light works
might even do that before your squats LOL see if it works.
You don't need a big light just a light they can see like a 15 or 25 watt
I leave mine on all night for them for awhile. then just turn it on before dusk and turn off if you want later.
Do not leave them out
You will also find if you have a light on the chicks will go in on their own when it starts to get dark might have to put them in a few times but they will go in on their own before you know it.
and as they grow they will go in to roost on their own even if free...
I never wash mine either due to the bloom.
Everyone that buy from me are aware and happy with that.. I tell them if they want to wash to do it just before they use them
If they are a little dirty I wipe them off and save them for us then I may wash them just before using
with luke warm water...
Excellent job so glad your back !!

so very sry about your loss of your chicks.
6 months ago we also lost our beloved cat of 14 years
we got him at 8 weeks and he lived on our 10 acres with us his whole life. We got him when our mixed breed dog was 2yrs.
They were the best of buddies to the end and I know Spanky (dog) kept Egor (cat) out of trouble and harms way many times...
