Hi all,
Well our new chicks are finally here!!! Lots of excitement, and things are going well enough. They are Blue Laced Red Wyandottes!
I have noticed that they each seem to be picking themselves, one in particular around his wings.
Is this preening or picking? They are not picking at each other.
I have them warm at 93-95 degrees in their brooder, with a red heat lamp on them.
They are eating and drinking, and they came via McMurrays first to the Feed Co-Op where I ordered them, and we got them home today...I estimate they are 3-4 days old...
Thanks for any insight.
