My daughter just brought home two Kahki Camble babies (I am guessing 2-7 days old).
I only know chickens . . . so have a few questions. If someone has time to answer that would be great, or if you know of a thread with these questions answered already that would be great too! Thanks!
1. They are currently in one of my rubbermaid chick brooders, with sawdust at the bottom, and a chick waterer, and a chick light. Is this all ok?
2. I have on hand medicated & non medicated chick starter, do I use this . . . or something different?
3. When can they be introduced to the grass lawn?
4. When do you introduce them to swimable water?
5. My daughter intends to put a small pond in the lawn for them. We have a large lake out back with lots of wild water fowl, if they go out there will the wild ones pick on them? will they come back? at what age (if any) could they go out there for fishing trips?
