Hey guys I just put my chicks out to the coop from the brooder and can't get them to use their water cups. I had to put their brooder water dish out there. Any thoughts or tips on how to get them to use the cups.
No I bought her at the feed store. She sadly didn't make it. She passed about 9:30 last night. Keeping an eye on the others to make sure it wasn't something contagious. Thank you all for the help.
That's what I've done got her own heat source food and waterer. She's got to where she just lays there unless I move her. Once I do she still barely eats or drinks. The nutri drench doesn't seem to be helping. She just sleeps.
I've been giving the nutri drench along with grit and plain yogurt in case of excites. She eats and drinks. Poops had a yellowish discharge with it the past 24 hrs.
Ok update on the chick. She's not doing good. She is now just laying around letting the other chicks walk on her and pick at her. Not sure what to do. She barely moves. Except to get food and water. I've separated her for now. But she just screams wanting back with the others.
Ok so I had no idea they needed so much space. I redesigned my coop to now be 12x6 and the run will be 12x14. Thank you for the heads up. Last thing I want is angry chickens running around.
After doing some research I've decided to make my Run 12x12 with a 4x6 completely enclosed area for sun protection in the summer. Thanks for all the help and responses
