Just picked up our new chicks today - 3 RI Reds, 3 Barred Rocks, 2 Buff Orpingtons. They are in a clear plastic tote with the heat lamp on one side. They move all around the tote but tend to gather right in the middle. Am I correct to assume that the temperature must be about right for them?
I bought chick feeder/waterers from TSC, but they're not working as waterers. I'm thinking that the bottom part is wrong. The bottle sits directly on the bottom part, so it doesn't let any water out. Should there be some grooves or something cut into the bottom piece to allow small amounts of water to seep out?
I love just watching them (and holding them of course).
