@CaptWeirdBeard do you have a chicken first aid kit? My biggest problem when I started out was not being prepared for illness or emergencies. It's easy and most of the stuff you probably already have.

 

[CaptWeirdBeard]

it's not a good image but I'll take a better one when I get home, still kinda workin on the coop. The guy I got these from has another group that are a month younger, was gonna go with them.

@campingshaws I do not what should I get to put this kit together?

Batadine, gloves, neo without the pian med in it. Saline, vetramycin wound care, Corid, vet wrap, nonstick gauze, powered tylan it's a antibiotic you mix with water,probiotics and electrolytes. Do not use peroxide on any animal. I would buy a few things a week ill i had everything. Pam

x2. I also have q-tips to apply the triple antibiotic, and I use blu-kote but I think the vetramycin is better.

My first chick! And it wasn't the first to pip either. The one who pipped this am still looks the same. Does this mean it is in trouble or is that normal?

If the second group is from the same guy, you probably won't have to quarantine. Were they housed together?

What do you think Pam?

Blue Côte is a must. Can't believe I forgot that one.

Normal. You could lightly spray with water but that's normal. Pam

If they were all together and he hasn't had any issues it would be ok. It's been long enough that you will need to reintroduce them. Keep the in a cage where they can see each other for a few days then put them on the roost with the others at coop closing time. Pam
