    None of them charge at me, just follow me round like little shadows. He/she is the only one that chest bumps the others which is what made me first think roo, but i would love to be wrong as i dont want to get rid of any of them!

    Heating pad instead of heating lamp

    I am thinking of getting the reptile style heat pad for my 7 day old chicks as it is quite cold here atm due to winter. They are in a bird style cage at the moment but it has a plasic bottom. If i get a heat pad that is 1/3 of the cage and wrap it in a towel, is it going to be safe for the...

    Chick has hard poo wrapped around its leg?

    Chick has hard poo wrapped around its leg?

    I have just picked up my chicks and was wondering why this 1 wasnt running around like the others, had a look and found it had some kind of hard string (poo??) around its leg that is still attached to its little bottom. Do i cut it or could it be something else?
