Bedding for baby chicks????

[ibpboo]

Poor chickie, hope it gets better. I have no experience with that so I won't offer any suggestion.
Well, just keep loving your chickies. And you can talk about them all you want here, cuz we all love chickies on this board!!

Aww poor baby! I have seen a lot of threads on this. It is sad, but I think you need to put them in a cup that does not allow them to move around in order for them to heal. Do not take my advice, find the thread. I don't know anything about treating this problem. That's funny about the cat, when we brought home our first babies my cats were terrified of them

I know, people are so helpful. I will post a question and I will have five answers in about fifteen minutes. That is the problem though, I am addicted! I am supposed to be cleaning right now and I have been here off and on all day! That is great that the baby is fighting. I think the best thing for any sick animal is stimulation. Give him lots of pets and purr at him

I purr at mine all the time!

It worked perfect for us in our brooder. We put down paper towel, then wood chips (not cedar) and then another layer of paper towels. I'd clean it out every few days and just roll up the paper towel and start up again.

I'm getting some new babies next week and really appreciate everyone's advice on this post. The paper towels under the bedding sounds like a great idea! Easy clean up!

Thanks!
