    Vent gleet? Prolapse? Egg binding?

    Thank you so much for your feedback! We’ve been soaking her every day and it seems to help. Is it common for a prolapse to move in and out throughout the day? She has been laying daily again and has been defecating but her stools are loose at times. I will definitely try some ointment like you...

    At what age is it ok to hold my chicks?

    We will definitely be handling them now that I know it’s ok. I limit it, just to keep the chilling to a minimum. Most of them seem pretty ok with us around them, some hop into our hands etc. I’m in LOVE! They are so adorable... ❤️❤️❤️Thanks for the feedback! Much appreciated. 😊

    Broad spectrum antibiotic to have on hand?

    We’ve kept an eye on the vents for caking and they are all clear, the poop looks normal to me. Maybe she is just still adjusting. Thank you. 💛

    Help! My three-day old chicks are not drinking their water.

    We brought chicks home 3 days ago, I have a waterer with the nipple valve and my chicks immediately used it. Maybe yours are used to one of these type of waterers? Good luck!

    Broad spectrum antibiotic to have on hand?

    Hi everyone! My 4 day chicks are here! I am new to the chicken community but have wanted them FOREVER. One of our little ladies looks like she may be under the weather. She is standing very wobbly and under the heat panel often while the others are running around eating and drinking...
