    sticky eyes, help

    I have 5 chicks 2 days old. 4 of them seem to be having trouble opening their eyes. they are in a brooder with a red bulb. their eye lids seem to be stuck together. i tried a little warm water which helps but moments later they cant see again. any thoughts?

    When will my new babies poop?

    i usually wait till the chick is 8 hours old and are a bit more alert, then i dip thier beak in the water and shortly after they will start to poop. about two hours after that i then scatter chick crumb on the floor of the brooder once the work out its food i introduce a bowl of food.
