But take my advice and just quit texting. Texting is dangerous and gets people into trouble.

LOL, if I stopped texting, I'd hardly ever hear from my (grown) kids! I've actually gotten them to text more in sentences than shorthand, except for some phrases which I've also learned over the years. The shorthand came from many years ago when there was a length limit on texting, like there is on Twitter. There's no limit any more (you couls wrote a novella and send it by text now! ) so no reason other than laziness not to just spell and use proper grammar.

Then again, they may just do it with me, and use the full-shorthand version with their peers!

Thank you, saved me alot of time searching. Yup, texting & emailing gets misunderstood very easily. It's best to SPEAK cause then you hear the "tone & attitude". Thank you again for the link.

Ok so first off theres about 3 pet stores in here I will go to one and ask them if they have a light bulb to warm the chicks and second do I get any light bulb? or a really strong one? also I live in Asia and sometimes travel to Africa because I got a farm in Africa that we raise goats and cows at and yes I do live in an Apartment atm and the chick is indoors ofc its not really cold or hot and I tried to put her in the sun but its like cloudy today and theres no sun shine so I guess shes still good and do I put hot water on a cloth and remove it with the cloth that has hot water on it ? or just a bit hot water like warm water?

You want a nice warm wet cloth. Not hot enough to burn, just warm. This is to clean her rear end.

Good morning. Hope you slept well.

The chick's dirty bottom is serious. You need to gently clean it with a warm wet wash cloth. It's very important that the feces don't dry and clog the chick's bottom. Or it can die. Don't get the chick wet. Just the little soiled part.

Did you smash the pellets? Give the chick some smashed pellets to eat. Put it on the floor of the box and tap with your finger to show it the food.

Any light bulb will work if it gets hot and you can feel the heat coming off the bulb, like you feel the sun. The chick needs to be warmed. Put the bulb in a lamp that you can shine down into the box. Place your hand on the floor of the box under the lamp. If your hand feels warm, then the light bulb is hot enough and it will warm the chick. The chick will want to stay under the light bulb and warm itself.

If you can't find a light bulb that gives off heat, then a bottle of warm water placed in the box will help warm the chick. The chick will get close to the bottle of warm water and get warm. You need to have the water bottle just warm enough it won't hurt your hand when you touch it.

You need to find that sand for the chick to eat. Chickens eat sand just like they do food. It helps them digest food. They will die without it. Be sure the sand is clean and has no cement or oil in it.

I cant really find this sand its not available anywhere

 

[VocpGamer]

I can make the hot bottle really hot but I will cool it down from outside

And I tired to clean off the poop from behind and some poop got cleaned and theres still 1 stuck I cant remove it cuz everytime i hold the chick it keeps running and screaming when im removing it with a warm cloth also I broke the food into pieces and she started eating them but still not able to eat some of them cuz they drop

Sand. Do you have a shop in your city that sells aquarium fish? Aquariums need sand so the shop will probably sell it. This sand will work as grit for your chick.

Grit is not optional. The chick will get sick and die if it doesn't eat it.

Or you can find a quarry that sells sand to builders to make cement from. They will probably be happy to just let you scoop up some into a little bag to take home for your chick.
