    HELP! My baby chicks are hot

    I put a cool block from the freezer in the coop covered with a cloth. works instantly. Bigger the coop, more blocks. A bag of ice would work the same but wouldn't last so long,

    URGENT: Need to determine sick 4 wk old chick issue... (video included)

    If the chicks have been raised on slippery newspaper they can develop splayed legs, give them a rough surface and it may cure.

    Moving chicks to coop with no heat?

    The hot weather changed suddenly on the day i put out my two four week old chicks. I put in an old fashioned hot water bottle under a bath mat and cover with hay. They were still warm in the morning. A wheat bag might do the same.

    Quail eggs died just before hatching.

    I had the same problem. husband increased heat by switching on brooder lamp accidentally. Hatching day water was dried out. horrible, i managed to get two out four eggs out by hand when I realised what was happening.
