    Chick not walking properly?

    Definitely not splay leg . The place I got her think slipped tendon but I’m not sure? She’s eating, drinking and all chicks have access to vitamins too in drinking water like a multivitamin (assuming that’s what poultry cell is).

    Chick not walking properly?

    chick is 6 days old. Won’t walk straight up. Other chicks it came with were fine. We did lose one yesterday unknown as for why. But this one has been like this since we got it. Not sure why? Any help appreciated ❤️

    We thankfully can just raise them inside - as that’s the plan anyway but I wasn’t sure with her. A friend said they have never had success introducing chicks so makes me wonder !

    Coop floor bedding AUS

    No that’s ok! I should have been more specific! Haha. Yes that’s the hard part we are finding. I know a local breeder uses sand and loves it. But I’m just not sure (and it’s a big cost outlay so need to be sure!) We are winter now and it’s been a miserable one.. the coop bedding doesn’t get...

    Coop floor bedding AUS

    A coop here is typically where they sleep and lay eggs! Ours are free ranged - on grass/dirt. So this is purely for where I lock them up at night - and where they’ll lay their eggs. Our coop sits on a concrete slab. It’s currently got mulch - but due to our weather (wet, but humid) atm the...

    Coop floor bedding AUS

    What are we loving for coop floor bedding? We currently use mulch - which is working well! But looking at an easier upkeep now that we have more chickens! thinking switching to sand? But not sure of the upkeep there! What else is recommended? Wanting something that’s chicken friendly, easy...
