    Need Advice on baby Sebrights and Buff Orpingtons.

    I received a shipment of seven chicks yesterday, among which were three day old baby Sebrights. One of them is doing just fine, but two of them appear to be smaller than the other, and are having a hard time eating and drinking on their own. My wife and I fed and watered them with a medicine...
