This is my first time hatching. Our first chick made it out of the shell but has this cord attached to it. Please tell me what it is and if I need to do anything.
Sorry for not being clear in my original post. The birds and the brooder got sick and I treated them. I want to integrate those birds with my flock out in the coop. I should’ve stated that from the beginning. My apologies.
I didn’t separate the birds. I had my original flock out in the coop, and then I had 10 birds in the brooder. The birds and the brooder of the ones that were sick.
They have been free ranging and yes they are crowded. I need to come up with a plan to house the in the garage now that I can’t integrate them with the flock.
I agree. I normally would not keep them in the brooder this long. I wanted to move them out to the coop much sooner but the weather has been all over the place here in Nebraska. We have gone from below freezing to the other end of the spectrum. My plan was to intergrate this week but now...
