The last two nights a rat has gotten in the pen with the brand new chicks. Can't tell how they're getting in. But two days in a row when we opened the pen a dead baby was in there chewed up. What can I or should I do?
I just hatched my first quail in my incubator. But it's so tiny that its feet just falls through the holes of the Grate/screen. What do you do about that?
Our chicks are dying one by one. They have blood in their stools. I was told to get corid in their water ASAP. How much per gallon do I put in of Corrid powder 20%.?
I need to know what I'm doing wrong. In the last couple of hatches I've had this week I've had three wry neck chicks and 3 spray legs. My hens and roosters get the best food from the co-op. Lots of treats. Seeds, veggies, fruit grass and clover. What's going on??
