Today I woke up to a death of one of my newborn baby chickens.
He/she did not look pecked at and was acting fine last night but i woke up
this morning and the poor baby was dead.
Can someone tell me what happens... here is my brooder set up
Temp in brooder 95-100
Waterer from The Tractor Store SMALL baby chick water
Food in Mason Jar type feeder looks like made of galvonized steel (sorry for the spelling)
Bedding : LARGE wood shavings but they do get crushed i am thinking they dont eat them i hope...
The newborn was one that had hatched within 48 hours..
what happened?
