And I already have a question. we picked up our chickens last night. They are two days old and they looked fine on the 30 minute drive back to the house with the car blazing hot ( I thought I was going to melt) but when we got home there was one that was laying sideways and didn't move much. Didn't look ill but didn't stay with the other 11. She has only gotten worse as the night/day progress. Have the water/food/temp things the way they told us to do and have been dipping her beak in water so she gets some. But at this point she is now completely laying down and the others walk all over her; she doesn't move out of the way or anything. I have yet to see her drink or eat. I took her out and put her in her own box with food and water so they would quit walking over her but that doesn't seem to have helped much. Off and on through out the day she will seem better for a couple minutes and I think okay she's going to make it and then she is back down. Suggestions? Or should I just plan on a couple of them not making it and quit stressing about it?
