My first weekend with my new chicks has passed. It was great and I enjoyed every moment I spent with them. On Sunday, I noticed one chick with a good bit of poop stuck to her butt. So I checked all of them and found 4 that needed to be cleaned. It was a fairly easy thing to go... just run under warm water until it softened enough to flow away easily. No more pasty butt.
Before:
After:
Also, I unfortunately lost two chicks. I thinks it's common to lose a couple. These two appeared weaker and I wasn't surprised when I found them dead. Hoover's gave me a refund for those 2 chicks... so that was nice.
I visit my chicks several times throughout the day so they will get used to me and not be so fearful when I come around. They also lift my spirits every time I see them.
I was hesitant about starting with chicks, but I am so glad I did!
