I have 3 8week old barnvelders pretty sure 1 is a cockerel and I have 3 4 week old buff Orpington’s 1 also a cockerel and I have a 4 week old silkie. The barnvelders are in a run and hutch alone away from my adult ones down my allotment and the other 4 are at home not using heat. Can I mix all...
I’m not at home at the minute to supply a picture but it looked normal. No I didn’t assist the hatch it took a while but eventually came out on it’s own.
We’ve had some really hot weather for the past few days so I might take the heater out tomorrow for 15-20mins and see if it perks up abit. The heat in my house and the heater itself is maybe making the chick too warm....well I’m hoping so because then il know what to do to help it
The heat
the heat source is a brooder that I bought. I’ve used it with other hatches and had no problems. When I take it out from under the heat it will chirp loudly till it’s back under it. I’ve attached a picture of the brooder I’ve got
