Hello -
we received 12 chicks and 8 keets yesterday afternoon (8/14). They are all eating and drinking, and running around chirping. They seem happy. I have seen them sleep, and maybe this is a dumb question but they don’t seem to ever stop for long periods of time and sleep. Ie -at 11pm some were running about eating/drinking/etc while some were sleeping, and the same for 1am. They have a red heat lamp, and access to a brooder heat source. I turned off the extra “regular” lights at 8pm. Is the lack of defined sleeping for a long stretch okay?
thanks!
