    Lethargic one-day-old chick

    The rest seem to be doing fine but this one is just sleeping constantly, he can walk but only seems to do a few steps then falls down again. He hasn't eaten and is only taking water when I force him to. He just did a very watery lime green poop. Any ideas on whats wrong and how I can help him?

    Booted Bantam Sableboot eggs

    How long will these take to hatch? I thought 3 weeks but a friend told me he had been told booted bantams are only 19 days? I'll need to know so I can stop turning the eggs... Thanks in advance!

    Turning eggs

    So I need to turn them an odd number of times, minimum- 3 times a day which I can cope with but if I'm in the house all day then would it be beneficial for me to turn them 5 or 7 times that day or should I stick to 3 everyday?
