I have a couple of thread asking questions, and am getting good advice. (Thank you to all replying.)
But a couple of mistakes on my coop (correctable to a point, tho not completely), have me suddenly in a panic. These little babies are living beings in my care, and I am now questioning myself on if I can do this. I know it sounds stupid, especially for someone who was raised on a farm taking care of cows and sheep. Not to mention, I've had very few years in my life that I didn't have a dog. But those are larger animals. The chicks are so little and vulnerable. To my credit, they will be a week old tomorrow, and so far, all are alive, and seem healthy and happy.
Is this normal? Did anyone else have "new mom" panic and question their abilities to raise chickens? I am suddenly doubting myself because I am not doing everything perfectly!
