Is it really true that if a chick's water is too cold the chick (more)

[Baby_Chick]

the chick themselves can get cold? I remember hearing that somewhere... I forget where though. Oh yeah and if it is true what temperature should their water be? They are about a week old if that matters.

I don't know if it's true, but chicks do get chilled easily. I've been giving mine luke-warm water.

Yes it is important to give your new arrived chicken a warm water (95-100 F) so they with not chill and recover from the trip fast.

After 1st day I just give them room temperature water.

I kind of feel like an idiot for asking but what is AVC?

 

[hinkjc]

I provide room temperature water for all of my chicks. I also found chicks with cold water tend to paste up as well.

AVC = Apple Cider Vinegar. Some people recommend that you add it to water as a mild germ killer.
