We just got our chicks today from MM and some are hamburgs. One of the hamburgs isn't looking good at all. She is always sleeping and gets up a little bit and isn't really chirping like the others. Hmm. . .

exactly, i'm way confused. . they aren't even going under the heat lamp which is at 95 degrees. They are running around and hanging out like any other chicks we've raised. They are just REALLY loud.
I've done this a few times ( raising chicks that is) I have a red-heat lamp on them an I gave them gro-gel when they arrived they have food & water and are eating non-stop & pooping normally, temperatures 95 degrees! Any other suggestions?
Hi,
We have 30 chicks, 5 japanese bantams, and several standards. We just recieved them today from Murray Mcmurray (spelling?) We had to seperate the Japanese bantams from the others. The Japanese bantams are being EXTREMELY loud it's making my ears ring. I have raised chicks about 6 times...

Just be sure that when/if you go to your local feed store that they are taking good care of them because some people at feed stores and other places aren't sure what they are doing. Most take really good care of them though.
