Hello everyone, I'm new here and had some questions regarding my broiler chicks. I've raised several batches of laying hens but ony 6 or 7 at a time and layers. I just got 15 day old broiler chicks to show with 4-H and have encountered some problems. I admit I hadn't really researched them much until I got them asuming their care was just the same as the light layers. They are 4 days old and some of them are sneezing and a few (different ones) have slight diarrea. They are all eating and drinking well as far as I can tell and are really adventurous. Should I be concerned about them, Im kind of worried. They are kept in a 40" by 17" wire cage with a plastic bottom. I have around 3 inches of pine shavings in there. There is a light in the cage and I have a small space heater blowing on one end. I have blankets around the cage and put a play tent over the whole thing so the heater wasn't always running. Could they have respatory problems because there isn't enouh air flow? During the day I leave the tent door open. My other question is regarding their food. I have always used starter grower feed for all the chicks Ive raised but after getting the chicks I found they should have a 26-30% protin food but what I have is only 18% I am getting some better food tomorrow but is there anything I could add for more protin. Is there anything else I could do that Im not doing to help them? Thanks for any help
