In the Brooder
We just got our new baby chicks today and I'm worried they're not getting enough water. Only a few of them seem to even try to drink from the waterer. So far we've been pushing the "button" to get water to come out for them. I'm wondering if their beaks are even strong enough to push it at just a day old. Are we trying to start them out on it too soon? Should we do something different and try this at an older age?
We're doing a fermented feed that is barely moist (not the wetter stuff) so I'm wondering if they're getting their water from that. I just don't want to lose a chick to dehydration!
