I have a crack in the plastic maybe 3 ft from ground. Could any predator make entry there? I can't think of anything. I taped it, but don't know what good that is really. Thoughts? Thank you! :)
I took my 4 week old chicks out today. They seemed to like it for about ten min. Then they started sitting down... Beaks were open. We're they too hot? it was only 85 degrees. No shade though. I need to make them a shade spot. I had them on bare dirt with some random grassy spots.
One of my 2 wk old chicks has a little peck wound to her face with a tiny spot of blood. Do I need to separate her so she isn't pecked to death?!? They're all together right now and doing ok. I'm suddenly over chickens tonight!
I know I'm supposed to hold my chicks so they get to know me, but every time I go up to their brooder they run around and start peeping.... Bothered I am there. They're running from me now when I try to catch them and they're trying to jump out of their brooder. I put a screen on to keep them...
