Crossing the Road
Are you trying to dip the tip of the chick's beak in water? That may encourage him to drink a littleWell, the little one is still lagging behind s bit... but seemingly catching up. When I lift up the heater to make sure hes alive,, he jumps to standing like the others did. He responds to tapping and runs over and pecks. Still have not seen him drink. The larger one is perfectly fine. But so was the one that died.
I called the neighbor yesterday to ask when he wanted his chicks.... and to make a long, annoying story short, they are mine now. I had not planned on this. I have some very specific and tough to get chicks for a project arriving next week and have 10 4 week grow outs. I may just sell them. I'm not sure where I would put them.
