    Supporting a weak chick through the first night

    I would continue keeping a close eye on her and keep giving the Nutri-Drench through the next day or so until she is keeping up with the rest of the chicks. If you have a way she can stay warm as the others and get to food and water, you could also put a divider in where they are and keep her...

    Anyone use these pens for baby chicks?

    You can also sit it inside a large kiddie pool to catch the shavings they fling out. I kept mine in the larger Rubbermaid tubs with a mesh top and heat lamp above until they started feathering out, then they moved to hutches outside before the final move to the big coops. I got my hutches at TSC...

    How to raise my chicks from day one to adult hood

    They should have food and water available 24/7. Usually they are fully feathered out at 6 weeks of age, though some larger breeds or cockerels feather out a bit later. Like the previous poster said, they should be at 95 degrees from day one til first week, then decrease by 5 degrees per week of...

    Rooster blood patch on anus/lost tail feathers

    You'll need to keep him totally separated from them until his wounds heal up at least. You can spray or apply Blu Kote to the area to keep it from looking bloody and they won't pick at it so much if you don't have somewhere to keep him. Once they see blood, they will keep at it! I'd clean the...

    My 5 week old chick has a case of rotten butt

    I'd separate that chick if you can, make sure you keep it warm like the others. You can use diluted Betadine solution and clean off the entire area by flushing it out. Dry thoroughly and apply Triple antibiotic cream without any painkiller in it next. I'd clean it with the solution and reapply...

    Poultry Drench is available at feed stores or online at most places that sell poultry items. I got mine at Jeffers. I usually take a dropperful and put it on bread and then make balls out of that to give it to them. They almost always gobble it down immediately. If not, I have just used the...

    She should still be either on starter feed or something like Flock Raiser until she is about to lay, usually at 18 weeks. Then switch to a layer feed or you can keep on Flock Raiser and add oyster shell for the calcium. Do not give calcium until 18 weeks though. I would separate her and keep...

    blue food coloring as bluing when bathing?

    Blue food coloring will turn blue...not make whites whiter! You can use Clairol Shimmer Lights for hair and get the same effect as the shampoos they have out there for horses, dogs and such that have white hair, most of those are purple shampoos with bluing in them that you leave on for a few...
