:( unfortunately the weeker one didn't make it,it wouldn't even drink,I tried as much as I could,but I have no explanation as to why this one died but the other is up and about now with more energy

They are still alive,pretty much the same as yesterday.although the tiny one is trying to stand now

It is standing it's own in there with the rest of them,but the other one isn't,it's allowing them to peck at it

Yes,there is plenty of padding in there with it,it can move away from the heat if it wishes as it a big tub but it seems comfortable just lying still,all of the others are happy under the heat lamp and sleep soundly,my brooder is a brand new 100 cm rabbit cage,with fine wood shavings all over...

Yes,I have them in a tub under the heat lamp,while the rest have the heat plate,I can't seem to get a picture to upload

I have separated 2 out of 18 of my 3/4 day old chicks due to not eating,drinking or generally moving,one is particularly bad,it was pecked at its vent by the others on day 1 and hasn't recovered,I've dipped their beaks in the water several times and they have had a bit,but not interested in...

Thank you,I'm not sure if the blood is related to the pecking of its bottom,I've separated them both in a tub in the brooder but kept them under the heat lamp in their tub while the others have the heat plate,I'm desperate to help this chick but I just don't know what to do,this is my first...

Oh yes they have drank small bits when I dip their beaks,just tried the sugar and water,they both took a little bit,but one has taken a bad turn,it's currently in my hand,not making any sounds,feet curled up with small amounts of blood coming from its vent,it's breathing really really fast and...

Thank you for your replies,I've been taking them to the water at intervals all day,but they are not interested when I take them to the food,all they are doing is wanting to stay under the heat lamp

Hi I have hatched out 18 chicks,2 days old now 5 buff sussex,5 black leghorn,3 lavender leghorn,1 white orpington,2 salmon faverolle and 2 light sussex Out of the 3 lavender leghorns,two of them are much much smaller than the others and can't walk well,not eating or drinking (only drink when I...

:(:(:(:(:(:(:( My first chick loss! So so sad!

Well I took it back into the shower room as the membrane had became hard around its face so decided to intervene further,while taking away some membrane from its leg area,there was lots and lots of blood,I'm not holding out much hope for this little one,seems an awful lot of blood for it to...

I candled it and it had internally pipped,made a little mark on where to tap and started to tap,my gosh that shell was hard,makes me think no wonder it couldn't get out,I only had 3 of this particular light sussex eggs,this was the final one of the 3 It's beak was pretty close to where I tapped...

Hi, I have an egg with a really really strong tapping and cheaping inside but still hasn't made an external pip,I am approaching day 23 with 18 hatched already so I'm thinking the shell is too tough as it should have had enough encouragement from others to pip,does anyone have any...

I've been using the heatplate during the night and the heat lamp during the day,it's going ok now,they seem to settle after a while and when the lights go out,the silkie chicks are climbing on the backs of the bigger chicks to get even closer to the heatplate

I suspected the sinkers were clear from the beginning but I set them anyway,they were just a little tricky to see thru,but the float test confirms those were clear,but the others makes me so sad knowing they were alive and moving on day 18 and died somehow,I will leave in for one more day as no...

I have float tested my 6 late chicken eggs,day 24 for 3 and day 23 for 3,2 sank and all others are floating around the water with only 10% showing but not moving around,just seem to be floating,2 of these eggs I set next to each other because I knew they were moving around inside on day 18...

They are happy and settled with the heat lamp,running around, eating and drinking,but I have two that are not yet a day old and require heat and are sleeping, while the others that are running around not requiring that much heat and one that is 3 days old as it hatched early so it a case of...

I tried it again and they just can't settle under it at all,I've tried it on all heights,they all just seem to keep nudging it constantly with their heads and coming out as I think it burns them and shocks them,it's so frustrating because I need to use this over night as I don't want to cause an...

It's a comfort chicks heating plate from Holland
