A little back story, momma hen was sitting on 5 eggs, all but one hatched. The next day I go check on them and the last egg is struggling to hatch. I help it out and it hatched. That night I put it under momma hen. Everything seemed fine the next day. Chick is now 2 days old. I check on them...
Thank you, I have another chick that has a similar coloring (not so red, more tan, but no pink comb), could that be a cockerel also? I will try to post a pic,
Buff Orpington, Plymouth Rock, Easter Egger, Golden Sexlink.
When I went to check on them this morning they were on their roost. Now I need to get them to drink out of the nipples.
My chicks are 8 weeks old. Can they/ How do they, get up on a roost that is 3ft off the ground? Do I need to put them there at night? Or just not worry about it until they get bigger and can get up?
Thanks
i know there has been many discussions on building a run and hardwire cloth and such. I have gone through so many threads and have learned a lot, so thank you all. I do have a question though. I live in the suburbs of Los Angeles. My chicken run/area is in the back of our yard. A wood fence...
