I'm between Buffalo and Rochester and this weekend is supposed to get near 70 again. I would probably wait till the temps are going to stay lower. Plastic will act as an insulator and possibly make it too hot for now.
I pulled the scab off two days ago and didn't find a "corn" to get out. It's still very swollen and he's not able to put weight on it. What else can I do at home to help?
Last year I had one die within an hour of bringing it home from TSC. I called the store and asked if I could get a replacement or money back and I was able to get a new chick, but did unfortunately have to take the deceased one back.
