    Uber aggresive hen

    chicks who DON'T like heat?

    My three little babies are doing very well, but it is interesting, they seem to choose to keep AWAY from the heat in the brooder. I have the heat at one end and at that end it is about 85-86 which I think is appropiate for their age (they are in the middle of their second week). However they...

    chicks cold or just cuddling?

    Ok, first query from a new mother ;-) When my chicks are awake, they are very sprightly -- eating, pooping, drinking, pooping, cheaping, pooping, and appear to play in between pooping. But when they sleep they bundle up together. They shouldn't be cold and their awake behavior doesn't...
