If your four-week old chicks are in a brooder (and if that brooder is large enough), maybe you could divide the brooder using chicken wire, etc. so that the lone chick could be on one side and still be able to see and hear the older chicks on the other side.
I'm not as experienced as the others on here, but cornstarch should help slow/stop the bleeding if it is still needed. I had to use it in the past when a fox attacked one of our chickens, and she made it. Hope this helps!
hi there! I have some bantams that I do not know the gender or breed of. I got them from Family Center/ Tractor Supply. Thanks for your help!
#1 gray bantam - solid dark grey as a chick then started to get the lighter feathers while growing up. Male or female? - Family Center
#2 black...
I don't know about raw yolk, since I have never tried that either, but I bet someone has posted about it on BYC.
Yay! Hope she continues to get better! :)
Maybe homemade electrolytes/watered down Gatorade???? I have never used nutri-drench before though so any other advice would be better than mine. I hope that this might help you though!
Homemade might be better if you decide to do electrolytes though since a flavored Gatorade might not be best....
So what is everyone's advice for incubating and hatching calls? I would like to try again sometime, but don't want them to die right before the hatch again.
Also, I am happy to say that my call hen is sitting on her own clutch! Will they need human intervention during the hatch, or do you...
Yes my humidity was low during incubation, and then I increased it for lockdown. But it didn't affect the swedish, which just hatched. Are call ducks very temperamental? If so, what is the ideal temp and humidity for them? Is it different than other ducks? Thanks for your help and time!
I would open the air cell carefully, look at the link that was sent before, it helps alot!!! I hope they make it for you!
