Early Hatching Egg & Weak Chick

[Leighe]

They are for the lady whoms farm we live on. She just wanted us to try and see if we could hatch some but now she's not helping with anything but once they're old enough we are going to put them with the rest of the chickens and ducks.

Okay, well it would certainly be nice if she helped but on the other hand you are gaining a wealth of knowledge. Keep them warm, fed, hydrated, electrolytes. They will grow fast so you'll need a brooder box and then a place for them to go to grow more. They won't be able to go with the other chickens/ducks until they are much bigger. If you put them with the older ones you will need to keep them separated (in their own section of the pen or a crate). Two is harder to integrate then a bigger group but it certainly can be done with patience. Welcome to BYC! Keep asking any questions, someone here will help
