thank you

I have some bad news… Yesterday when I let my chickens and my broody hen and her babies out for a quick run around before I went to school something took the runt baby. I went inside the kitchen to grab a banana and quickly ate it, then when i went outside the chick just WASNT there. I was only...

In the uk normally it’s hold but summers are hot Right now it’s 22 degrees celcius Normally it screams if it’s too cold but not screaming and its a nice weather so it’s doing fine. The mama sometimes sits on them, so that warms it up.

Do I have to get a heat plate? I bring it in most days and it is in front of the heater where it is nice and warm. And other days (like today) where it was more hot, I keep it out so it can be with the mama and it’s big brother. The mama sits on it sometimes except when they’re fre ranging or...

That’s some size comparison.

AAH I was just sitting down with the runt chick and it was in my lap sleeping and I was supporting its bottom with my hand. I don't know why but I fell asleep with it in my lap and my hand like supporting it and then suddenly I closed my fist. I didn't shut my hand completely or squish the chick...

thank you so much! im glad your little chick made it :celebrate

aw thank you so much :wee I will certainly make sure it is hydrated, it loves water so much for some reason! whenever its standing and it sees the water it sprints to the water and starts drinking. just got it a little teddy to keep it company because as someone suggested, I should keep it in a...

thank you! I hope your chicken improves and gets big and strong 💪

here's my runty chicken eating and displaying chickeny behaviours which it doesn't do on a normal day

thanks anyway! think I might try out the egg yolk :)

ahh thank you very much

I think you're right, she took two days to hatch. Egg yolk... would that work to boost growth? She doesn't eat or drink anything besides whatever's in her feeder or drinker, even if I put that same food in my hand to hand feed her. Could I forcefully dip her beak in it? I could I really wish I...

^trying to crawl under her big brother pictures of runt compared to same aged brother
