    Brooder Advice Needed

    Hello! I have 5 4 week old Easter Egger chicks. The brooder they are currently in gives them 1.25 sq feet per bird. They seem cramped in there. So question one is- is that enough space? I let them out of the brooder multiple times a day to run around the spare bedroom (outdoors is currently too...

    How to wash chicks' feet?

    Hi! I'm excited to have 6, 3-4 week old chicks. They have a large brooder and we clean it daily. Even with that, they often have poop on their feet. I have used a damp paper towel unsuccessfully but would it be ok to use baby wipes? I only have non-organic baby wipes - do you think they are safe...

    Ducklings out of the Brooder

    I have 2 duckling both about 3 weeks old. They are still in a “brooder” inside my house. (It’s really just a pen I made with cardboard and boxes so they would have more room-picture below). Lately I’ve had them out of their brooder from the moment I wake up, to the moment I go to bed. I put them...

    So I’m curious about adding my new pullets to the established flock. I’ve got 7 birds outside and 8 in the brooder we’ve got a long time but I want to be ready. If I’m supposed to keep new birds in the coop for a couple days how do I get my veterans in and out? I don’t have the space for a...

    What is this on the skin of 8-week-old?

    Noticed this when moving them outside for the first time, they had only ever been in a brooder so I’m not sure what it could be? And how to treat? It’s just this one chicken. Thanks

    I’m a duck mom! Now what?

    hi guys — my duckling finally hatched (Lone Ranger, others didn’t make it ... it was a rescue egg that had been cold for almost 2 days). I’m tired and it’s almost 1am here. Is it okay to leave him in incubator overnight? Should I adjust temp. Still around 99.5-100 and 65-70 humidity , I haven’t...
