How much B-complex should I give baby chicks? When should I stop? How much B-Complex to Gallon? Why is this so good for my chicks? Thanks

Thanks everyone for the concerns and help. If you saw the pictures you may think we have them in close quarters on purpose but the chicks were just deciding they all wanted to sleep in one place. They have an entire barn which is plenty of space that they run around in during the day. They will...

No predators can get in or ever have the birds aren't stressed from this theory.

Yes they chose to sleep there we do feel bad for them. They have entire barn they run around in during day. They have plenty of food and water access. They will even have outdoor space when fully grown. We don't raise our birds in any way we wouldn't like ourselves. We are going to move them...

Currently we are dumping buckets of their feed in long feed chain they are not crushing each other when feed or watered. They looked over crowded in picture because they all chose to sleep in a single brooder room but they have entire barn too run about and when fully grown they will have...

Located in Maryland we are having a cold winter

They are feed brooder feed can't tell you right now what exactly is in but we are going to add grit to their diet. They are too old for brooder rooms and they will sleep on perches from now on.

Yes you are right this is not good was just showing the problems we were having we will move chicks on perches at night to break this habit of piling.

They have plenty of water access. There is no draft but barn is somewhat cold but not cold enough to worry about they should be able to withstand it. They have natural light shining through roof and poultry light on timers that comes on. The birds are three weeks behind on body weight which I...

We do believe they were crushed from other chicks. We will begin to feed them before sunset so they have food burning in their stomach to keep them warm. We will also put them on perches during night so they will learn where to sleep. What I forgot to mention is that they are currently 3 weeks...

I was reading about this today they have roost but are prone to sleeping in brooders. We lost another 20 last night when we checked on them they were very crowded. What we will change is we are going to begin to feed them before sunset and move them to perches so they can learn where to sleep...

They have plenty of water access with water heaters. We analyzed the situation tonight and did are research. We found out that due to the cold we must feed them 1.5 grams more for every degree below 20 celcius. So we now feed them 3 more buckets. This will help them produce heat at night when...

We now have a little over 800 chicks we had 1200 and keep randomly loosing chicks. They are outside of brooder rooms but still have access to brooder rooms to go in and out. They have a entire layer barn for their space to run around in. They are 17 weeks old and we have just found 50 dead in...

Thank you so much I know have a good understanding of what Is wrong with her. This is the first time I raised a meat chicken and I now know they aren’t the best pets. I believe the problem is her weight like you have mentioned it made sense ounce you explained it to me. Thank you

I’m not sure where injury started I only guessed it could be a wing injury. She is eating and drinking but only moves a little bit at a time. I haven’t seen her stand she has been on ground so injuries could be more major. She still is about 2 or 3 months old she grew up with a few chicks her...

I believe my rooster injured my young hen she has been isolated in her own area since this happened. My question is what should I do? Should I just keep feeding her until she gets better. I’m not positive of what is wrong with her possibly broken wing. Thanks

I am planning on building a floating duck house for my two runner ducks. Is it a good idea to have a floating duck house during winter when pond will freeze?

Hi I have never had a hen hatch chicks before. It is now late November and I was wondering if they need extra warmth or if they need to be separated from the other chickens.
