Hi!
3 out of the 6eggs i tried to let poultry supply incubate hatched May 16/17. This is my second time to raise baby chicks without the hen. My brooder space is quite big but they are only 3. It is about a 2ft x 2ft dimension. I have used 25watts light bulb for there heat source placed in the middle. They usually go to sides but huddle together. They sleep most of the time. Is it really normal that they sleep most of the time? They drink and eat but majority is sleep. I use the container cup as their feeder, is it okay? And their floor is of shelf liner. Sometimes they have watery stool but some are normal. I place pinch of vitminpro in their water.
