    Moving chicks outside?

    Depending on temperature, they should be fine with lots of straw that they can snuggle into. They are old enough to huddle up when chilled and have no problems. I am waiting until 6 weeks of age and i'm in NH near the coast.. just to be safe

    Pine bedding for brooder

    My chicks did the exact same things. Just give grit (spread it all over the brooder) around 2 weeks of age. Also, provide a log for them to begin roosting on. Mine LOVED it. Then around 3-4 weeks they can have a roosting bar.

    Severe Pasty Butt??

    I used warm water and a Q-Tip and rubbed the area until everything loosened up. Then I grabbed with my fingers and it slid right off. Although they hate it, a few feathers off the butt is better than being dead.

    My girls have stopped laying

    They could be molting, not sure when that starts but normally there egg production stops for a little bit of time as they need lots of protein to grow new feathers. Also, depending on where you are, they need a certain amount of daylight to have high egg production (14 Hours), however, its April...

    Suddenly sick chick can't sit or stand upright.

    Try getting an eye dropper or something similar, then get warm water and put some sugar in it. Open her beak and squirt it in and do that every so often to give her a boost......hopefully!! It worked for our day old chick that wasn't doing good at all, now she is FINE.
