    One baby chick not keeping up with the rest

    Thanks ... I'm waiting for my daughter to get dressed so we can go bury him in the yard ... Poor little thing is probably better off. It is hard to lose any of them. PS. You have horses too? We have a horse, a dutch warmblood gelding. Best of luck with all of your animals!

    One baby chick not keeping up with the rest

    Thanks very much ... sorry your little one did not make it. We gave him some oatmeal using a syringe but were afraid to give him too much. We put him back with the others for now. Not sure if we should separate him in case he makes the others sick. We have been putting electrolytes or...

    One baby chick not keeping up with the rest

    My daughter has chosen to raise chickens as an FFA project. We have 25 chicks and they now 11 days old. All but one seem to be doing fine. This one little chick is noticeably smaller than the rest and not as active. It mostly seems to try to huddle near the others to keep warm and only eats and...
