I have ten, ISA Brown chicks, one week old. They are currently in a box inside our house. (I'm only going to keep four of them.) My husband is making a chicken tractor and we're trying to decide on a good heat source when needed. The nest box and roost, will be enclosed above a wire pen. What...
My order of ISA Brown chicks came in this morning. They're all doing fine except one. I can put her beak in water (with electrolytes) and get her to take a few swallows, but she won't eat anything. She's lethargic, but can stand alright when i get her up. Any suggestions?
I am about to order a few ISA Brown chicks and want to make sure I have everything that's needed. My granddaughter suggested this site for information and advice.
What are your thoughts on medicated chick starter? I'm not one to use medications unless needed, but certainly want to do what's best.
