Hey all,
It's my very first time taking care of a chick, I recently bought six eggs and an incubator kept at a constant temperature and increased humidity during the hatching stage, but unfortunately only one egg developed fully into a chick (3 infertile, 1 early quitter, and the other egg I have no clue what happened, possibly infertile!)
My new chick is alone, but luckily I have lots of free time and handle him/her a lot and it seems to trust me and follows me around. The only trouble is, my chick chirps VERY loudly during the night when it can't see me, or when I leave the room, is there any way I can stop this? My brooder consists of a large rabbit cage, filled with wood chips enabling it to walk properly, with a heat lamp at the top ensuring the chick is always warm, the feeder is always full as is the water, and I clean the cage daily! Chick seems happy enough in the brooder if I'm in the room..
I'm currently incubating six silkie eggs and hoping to give the little one a buddy!
My chick is currently about 5 days old and has a little bit of feathering.. is it possible to sex salmons this early?
There's quite a bit of black on the feathers so far.. anyway, here's the little cutie!
