I have 6 chicks who are 4 days old. 5 of them are developing fine. One I notice is smaller and her wings aren't as developed as the rest of my small flock. I called tractor supply and the woman told me to add some electrolytes to their water and to give that chick some chicken grit because she...
I've been cleaning their butts with a cotton ball and putting vegetable oil on there (an article said olive oil or vegetable oil was fine). How do I add grit? I heard cornmeal and grit will help their pasty butt. Is it safe for chicks only 2 days old (to eat)
I'm having a hard time keeping my chicks at 95. I can't seem to find the sweet spot (95 degrees). Does anyone have any tips on how to keep it at 95 it's always at 93 or 100....?
