    Hi, Well I think it is fine to introduce the chicks to each other. Just put them in one by one and watch to make sure no one gets hurt :) When it is in the 60's I would take them outside for daytrips, and bring them inside ant any signs of chill. I would wait to put them outside full time...

    Hi WhoStettler, Huddling together can mean they are cold. I've brooded bantams with standards so I don't think are crushing the small ones. Also they could be too hot and trying to get away from the heat. Here is a handy temp guide: week 1 = 90-95f week 2 = 90-85f week 3 = 85-80f week 4...

    Hi! Well, take them!!! Stay with them full time, keep them enclosed! Take them on a warm sunny day, signs of cold (huddling) take them in!

    Amelia123, I almost laughed reading that post! Yes baby chicks are quite the chripers! I lay down on my back with one and pet her until she falls asleep <3 They can have treats, but if you put your hand down in the brooder with some chick feed on it they'll normally step on it and crowd...

    Hi! I think you can turn the light of in the day as long as it's not dark in their room. I actually have chicks similar to that (tsc pullets?) that have been outside with lots of other chicks and heat lamp. LotsOLopsChicks

    Hi. If there is not enough calcium in the feed, I'd try swotching, chicks go cuckoo over fermented feed once they learn what it is. Really, I agree with lazygardener and think thy have some good ideas :) LotsOLopsChicks

    Hi higganbothham, 1st: For the sneezing chicks, clean brooder, feed and wateres ASAP! Bleach works, but I use vinegar. Get some apple cider vinegar and add a splash to their water. Also some garlic in water or garlic powder in food can help. The probiotics are a good place to start. Best of...

    ...lamp in the coop helps. I have lots of chicks and ducks that cuddle together with heat lamp at night. Most people follow this guide: Wk 1: 90-95*f Week 3: 80-85*f Wk 2: 85-90*f Week 4: 75-80*f You get it, lowering by 5 degrees each week. Of course if the chicks act huddled then...

    Hi bmdakk, Good question! I hope I can provide a good answer. :) Well first, you can make sure the brooder is not covered if you have no other animals in the house, so cool air can get in. 2nd, the heat lamp wattage may be high, in that case you'll need to buy a lower watt bulb. 3rd, no matter...
