Hello
This is baby Nugget, she is supposed to be a porcelain bantam and is so dang tiny she worries me. I have had her almost a week with 6 baby silkies. She has been doing good with them despite her tiny size, but I am constantly worrying if she is getting enough food, drinks. So back to the point of this post, can you guys give your input on what I might need (like a self made chicken kit) if one of my beautiful babies start acting under the weather, not thriving, etc. I was thinking of getting her some nutri-drench, I started pulling her from the brooder and spoon feeding her wet chick starter this morning just to be on the safe side. I should also add I have older chicks also.
Thanks everyone!
