My 6th chick just hatched 12-15 hours ago, but I have run into a problem. It can't stand, and won't stand, while it's right foot curls a little. The chick just lays on its back while the others walk all over it or around it.... When I played with it's food it wouldn't even move it.
What should...
I tried to get her a chicken friend....they just fight and my duck would try and peck her eyes. I left it run around my house it acts just like one of my dogs lol and it does honk loudly, you can hear it from the kitchen which if a few yards away. I'm currently incubating Easter chicken eggs so...
The ducks about 5-6 months old maybe more, it is my only duck, and Amazon has DUCK DIAPERS! lol I bought him a few. Also I got the duck from a women who was selling their eggs but she doesn't know the breed or if it's a girl or boy
Yes! Hoping my husband can make something soon I have a few boxes that aren't in use that I'm ready too use once this one gets messy. Probably by next weekend I will have an actual little broader and coop next.
Oh he gets around the box alright, he woke up for 5 minutes and scooted around the box launching himself like a rocket it was crazy. Lol.
Thats so cool, I'll make something like that for sure, and I helped it with water and it drank a little but it really didn't care for it so I've left it...
No I don't but he can leave the heat lamp, lol my husband said he is like me just wants a dark place to sleep in. He is in bottom left corner of the pic in the shade from the light. The light is really strong and warm so I have it at a distance from the box that's why it all looks so bright
I just put him in a broader box and idk the temp it's a heat lamp with a old towel with water and food, honestly he just looks really tired or a hung over cousin that just wants to sleep.
Update! He's doing better, it is still really sleepy but I took it out to see how it's doing and it scooted along the floor before it got tired again but it's making loud chirping noises and it's eyes were open. Kinda acts like it's drunk but doing better.
He is still in the incubator because my house is old and I'm scared I'll short my house out trying to plug the incubator and heat lamp in together I'm actually going to try n fix it after school/college classes. I think the temp is at 98 to right now.
