I have two 3 week old chicks that were in a plastic brooder. Two little ones hatched this morning, so I need to put them in the plastic brooder, so I fixed up my large dog crate and moved the 3 week olds in there about an hour ago. They are now making so much noise, like they're really...

Me again! :( So this little one pipped last night sometime (bearing in mind, I'm in the U.K,it's 23.08 here now). It must be coming up to 24 hrs. In the last hour or so, this blood has appeared, along with the yellow colour in the water channel. Egg is still rocking and chick is still peeping...
