Thanks for all the input....starting to have an issue. The girls really don't like me and a few of them have pasty butt. I've been treating it but every day their attitude toward me picking them up gets worse.
When I first got them they would jump into my hand, but they slowly started running...
We have 18 chicks, bought two 3.5ftx3.5ft plastic kiddie pools and put one upside down on top of the other, zip tied them together and cut the top out. The chicks have more than enough room but we will be upgrading in a few weeks.
Well this is odd...I have 1.5 week Old barred rocks and just brought home 0 week old leghorns and decided to try them in the brooder together.
The younger leghorns are bullying the barred rocks!
Thanks! I ditched the yogurt and fed them hard boiled yolk, they love it.
Took care of their little bottoms last night with warm water and cotton balls. Started them on sav a chick probiotic mixed in their water.
Just got my chicks yesterday, a few of them had pasty butt so I tried a small amount of yogurt mixed with crumble and they won't touch it. What am I doing wrong?
