Well, here is my 100 gallon water trough brooder. Now is holding 5 three week old mixed chicks with another 5 one week old mixed chicks. So that would bring 10 chicks total!
So, do you guy's think that it is big enough for now??? Also, im finding that the chicks are getting their water dirty....VERY OFTEN....since i just added the new babies to the original group. Is there anything i can do to stop this or will i have to deal with it since of the age difference of the 10 chicks???
Finally, the food the farmer gave me that ive been feeding the chicks ran out a few days ago, and since then ive been feeding them 20% protein chick feed/grower from Rural King. Ive been noticing that a few of the chicks poo was really runny. So im wanting to know if this is a huge problem or not. On a side note, ive also started putting some ACV in the watering tower...but only a tablespoon's worth each re-fill.
Thanks guys, i hope im doing everything right!!!
Also...could you guy's be kind enough to re-size this picture for me so it can be as big as BYC allows and so i can use it as my avatar??? That's my arm in the picture with my little red sex linked pullet Lauren sitting on my arm.
Thanks again!!
