Unfortunately Nibbles has passed away. I really don't know what happened. It's my first time raising chicks but my mum has been raising since she was very little. I really hope the rest of the chicks will be okay
He's with three other chicks. The rest eat fine, he was eating and drinking great last night but today he's just been in a slump. He's never done this before.
I got the chicks from a hatchery up in Luton. I'll be able to get some feed in 3 days. Thank you for all the help! I'm moving next year and the new place is going to have a garden for the chicks and hen.
So one of my chicks who is a little over a month old has stopped eating and drinking. Not only that but he just seems so much weaker. If he is put on his side he struggles to get back on his feet. He is also really hunched and his wings almost scrape the ground. He also does this thing where he...
We aren't meant to move next year during summer and hopefully we'll have a place with an enclosed area outside for the chicks and hen :)
I'll keep you guys updated on how they're doing
The chicks currently roam around the the kitchen because we live in a flat and don't have a garden. We take them outside into a field like area now and again, probably 2 times a week.
I am situated in England - West London. I think there is a local pet store that carries feed. We currently...
They all have their feathers (excluding the little fluff Nibbles has on his head) so I'm not sure whether they need a heat lamp.
Thank you for your help. I'm really new to raising chicks so thanks again for telling me what things to do. I'll try to get some grit for them soon. Probably tomorrow.
We don't have a heat lamp but they don't huddle together or anything indicating they're cold. Also they're warm to the touch.
We feed them oats mainly. We give them a little bit of coriander now and again and little chunks of tomato too.
I have two chicks that are always bunched up. One of them (Nibbles) always has his feathers down. The other (Felix) also is always screaming. Nibbles has been eating well and interacting with the other chicks but Felix is isolating himself and eating very little :(
