1st Chick Batch - Learning Curves

If they have any poo stuck on their bums get it off. Wet it with warm water and slowly pick the poo off. If they cant poo they will die. I used wet paper towel and hold it to the bum then pick at the poo as it gets soft it will come off. Im sorry about your babies but shipping is hard on them. You did right with the vitamin water. You didnt do anything wrong sometimes it happens.

Thanks guys.

I did loose more this week but the good side is the spunky group are doing very well. They are acting like mini chickens. It is too adorable.
We have a heat wave that came through this week so had to unwrap the hutch and even raise the brooder lamp up. I think that my group is finally through the rough patch. The spunky gang are getting their wing feathers in. Tommorrow they will be 1 week old from their hatch date.
