    7 Week old with leg injury, suggestions?

    I went to take the chicks outside this morning and I noticed that one of my EE's has something wrong with her leg. The leg is facing the wrong direction but her foot is on the ground. It has to have happened in the last 24 hours. She doesn't seem to be in too much pain and is moving around the...

    Temperature

    I have seven, 4-week old chicks that I'd like to start putting outside during the day. I live in CA and the weather is a bit warm for this time of year (mid to upper 60's where I live) but in the 40's when I wake up in the morning. What's too cold for the babies? They have lots of feathers but...

    Chicks are so afraid of me!

    My chicks are a week and a half old and they are totally terrified of me. Every time I come near the brooder they freak out. They won't take treats from my hand, no matter how long I sit motionless and wait and anything that I put in the brooder is ignored for about an hour until they forget...
