blue lotion antiseptic. the color helps prevent picking at the woundWoo hoo! Good news! Just watch that the other chicks don't start pecking at her toes. If so, find the quietest chick and separate them or you can have a real mess on your hands. Other chicks will peck at the sores on others creating bigger ouchies to deal with. Neosporin was a good choice by the way. Don't be surprised if the chick loses a toenail or two.
DDDDD Question: Is it normal for a chick that just hatched to run to the heat? Because Hope has just smushed her body against the jars protecting her from the heat... When I tried to get her away so she wouldn't burn herself, she just went back. She is still there, and I put a facecloth (blanket) on her, and she is sleeping right in front of the light. I don't want her so be too cold, but where she is is really hot... Will she be okay, or should she be so close to the light? Will she be less cold when she gets her fluff all puffy and warm??? I don't want her to be too cold...
