She didn't make it. I had her in a separate container so she wouldn't get the other chicks sick and I got up all night checking on her and the last time I did she'd gotten stuck in the water bowl so I dried her off and warmed her up but she started to seize. She calmed back down and I went back...
Thank you for telling me that I learned we have 2 chicks with this beak defect our black one with it is doing awesome but the brown one which was the first one I saw had it isn't doing good at all. I just started another yhread asking for advice causei don't think she's going to make it through...
Ok so about a week or 2 ago I got 10 chicks and I noticed 2 of them have a deformed beak to where the tops shorter than the bottom. They seem to have a harder time eating than the others and now the brown one is not doing good at all but I'm not sure if it's because she can't eat or if she's...
Also am I doing this right do I need the heat lamp closer like clamped to the side of the box? And I put that towel like that to creat a cool spot since the bins not really big so wen I put the light on it the entire thing is lit up there is no available cool spot
I also wanted to ask is this normal one of my chicks is really struggling to drink and when I looked closer at her beak I noticed it's different from all the other chicks on the bottom
It got down to the low 30s and high 20s so I wasn't having it I went out and got them at like 2am because even though we covered the wire floor there are 1-2 inch wide gaps all over the coop for ventilation and those had me worried. Every time I went out for my hourly checks throughout the night...
Thank you everyone for all of your advice I ended up placing plywood down to cover the wire floor and put bedding all inside the coop and got a heavy duty heat lamp and even wrapped plastic around the bottom of the coop to make sure no draft comes up from below. I'd lovvve to be able to keep...
Thank you so much for all of your advice. I know they're at least 2 or 3 weeks old cause that's how long ago the store I bought them from got them. By the way how old do they have to be to be able to start giving them little treats like yellow meal worms
The red part has an open floor on it I kept telling everyone it needed to be covered with all the wacky weather we've been having here. We're in North Carolina and it's been up and down with the temperature for months. Any ways I told my family the bottom needed to be sealed but they thought it...
I have them inside my house now and I'm gonna set them up a place in my bathtub with some food and water while I run to the store to get some things to make their house more chick friendly because tonight it's going to be in the 30s
They're in a fairly large coop but the floor in their little sleeping area is wire so the poop will fall through but now I'm worried because the heat can't stay in there
Hello my names Mandy I just got 10 baby chickens for my daughter on Saturday and the nights have been pretty warm up until tonight its only in the low 60s high 50s but it feels freezing out. I just went to check on them and they're all shivering badly they're in an enclosed coop but the floor is...
