Hello everyone,
I just joined BYC tonight. I am new to raising chickens (I'm only 20!). I recently bought 8 Rhode Island Red chicks that I am already extremely attached to. I check them about forty times a day (haha) and on my last check I found one of my little girls is sick. She is sweaty-looking and very weak-eyed. She is staying low to the ground. What is wrong with her? My dad has always farmed, and he called it "fever" and said to wait it out. I, however, am a Med Tech student and believe fully in medicine. I don't want this little one to die, plus I want to protect the others. Can anyone give me some tips as to what to give them? I am going to the feed store in the morning to see what I can find. Thank you so much!!
