70 during the day and 50 at night but they have a brooder plate in their coop. My other 5 week hens don’t use it. She’s on a 50% starter feed and 50% scratch and peck grower feed. We are weening them off their old feed as she’s almost 6 weeks and some of our girls are 8 weeks. We feed them meal...
My 5week old Welsummer chick has been puffed up for 3 days now. She just sits still, puffed up in the sun and barely walks around. I started her on Corid yesterday and dipped her beak to make sure she drank enough but no improvement today. She ate/drank out of my hand but isn’t going out of her...
