    Please help!

    I got the dewormer and gave her some electrolytes by syringe. She's not really opening her eyes very much at all today, so she can't see any food or water that I put in front of her..

    Socializing Baby Chicks

    Try just putting your hand in the brooder palm up and don't move it. They'll get used to it after a few minutes and if you do that for a little bit each day, they'll hopefully start walking on your hands and you can slowly lift them up. If they jump off when you start to lift your hand, just put...
