I think they have to have all there feathers around 6-8 weeks or it needs to be 70 degrees out. I pretty sure that's what I've read. Mine are only a week and a half old so i haven't really read that far ahead yet guess I need to.

i just bought 6 chicks last night and this morning only 1 is alive. i cant get her to eat. what should i do? is there a soft mix i can give her? she seems too weak for the crumbles and the crumbles seem awfully large. i am using the medicated chick starter crumbles but as i said she's not eating. any suggestions?......

Did you check your other thread and answer the questions? I see no response from you regarding the brooder conditions. https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=468186
It's VERY difficult to diagnose without needed information.

Sorry you are disappointed in your BYC experience, but you have to help us help you sometimes.

Kellydw, this section is usually where only the really really new people go - everyone else that has been on the site for a while has their specifics they are looking for and not many people visit this thread. Sorry you lost your chicks.



Don't give up on BYC - it is a great site!
