Thanx But the sick one this morning wasn't doing so great she's really cold and the other 3 keep pocking her so she's on top of the arger right now asleep
BTW: this is the arger she's on the covered hot bit in a box
my mum thought i said last night put yogert on it's feet instead of beak so now she's got very massaged feet

She should be kept at about 95-90 degrees fahreinheit at this age. If she is cold, turn up the heat in the brooder a bit. I don't see a reason to put yogurt on her feet, as long as she has a soft, poop free area (like that carpet) to sit in, she should be fine. I have raised several special need chicks this year with feet problems and I have not had to use yogurt, and I have managed fine. But if you think it helps her go right ahead, just be sure the yogurt is not the reason she is so cold.

LOL OK, so try getting it to Eat some plain yogurt or the smashed hard boiled egg bits. Thanks for showing me a Arger. Keep it warm and I hope it gets better!
