The chicks are fine. I’ve raised several and it takes a lot to kill em. I’m just stating what I grew up learning and I’ve never killed one bird from lack of heat. I think she’s doing perfect.

No need to get aggressive. I’m just trying to help out. Also, heat lamps produce more heat. Which differs from a lightbulb in many ways and isn’t as bright. But either one works.

I’m not any chicken expert but she might be molting, or she might possibly have some sort of parasite or somthing around that.

I was saying even without a heat lamp I’m sure they are fine with a light bulb. The chicks also produce heat that is keeping them warm too. Just keep them warm, and fed and happy and you’ll have some hens.

As long as they are in a draft free place, I’m pretty sure they are fine. The setup Josip has is perfect.

Oh wow! Good to know for future reference.

They need the lamp for the time that they still have fluffy down feathers on them. There’s not really a set time. I had my chickens on heat lamps until they were old enough to go outside. I’m sure they’d be fine even without the lamp. They have each other for a heat source.

I’m not sure what you can do about your situation, but if it’s a single hen, and if the hen is indeed sick... The other chickens will probably peck it to death. You might need to take the other chicken out if that happens. Also, hens can grow spurs. It doesn’t really happen unless the bird is an...

Probably not worth the money. If your raising the for pets or livestock. Hawks go for chickens but if the chickens have somthing to take cover under then that will help. Our chickens have had a few hawk attacks, but if you build a little lean-to or put in some bushes in their coop they can take...

Thanks so much, for everyone’s help. I sure will. I’ve had so much trouble finding things on raising baby pigeons. I was able to save this pigeon because the parents kept cracking and killing eggs, and they never sat on them. This egg was given to me by a relative and I had an incubator and they...

Ye The pigeon is doing fine I think. It’s pooped and it eats. I just wasent sure what I was doing. Thanks for all your help.

Hi, I recently hatched a pigeon and I’m very new at the pigon stuff. The pigeon is eating and is kept at 89°F. I feed it the exact parrot mix, for baby birds. My dilemma is that the pigeon hasent pooped in a whole day. It only pooped once and that was a few hrs after hatching. I’m trying my best...
