The chick should be fine for a week by itself. It will get attached on you. You will have to teach it to drink in a couple days by dipping its beak into the waterer. Also do the same for the feed as well. Your little one should start to peak at the food when it is hungary. Your bird might not eat for a few days but be sure there is water after the second day. The again you might have to teach the next one that hatches as well unless it just follows the first oneI really dont want this one to die like the last one. Also it is the only one that hatched in this bunch. Next ones aren't due to hatch for a week. Should i b concerned he is lonely
If you remove the egg each day she should continue to lay every 2 days. Weather does play a part in egg laying (for mine anyways LOL) Mine will stop laying if it is too hot and some will not lay if it is raining. I had a wet week last week and for a few days not one egg but then I go to put the young ones away and there are eggs everywhere LOL If you left the eggs with her and she laid a clutch of them and you then took them from her she might be done. I have one hen that laid an egg and wanted to sit on it and tried going broody but I could not let her cause of possible prediators, she has not laid an egg since but she might start again or she could be done.On a side note. How many eggs should i expect my hen to lay. It seems live she laid a bunch for about a month n haven't had any foe two weeks. Will she lay more or is she done for the season
Can you describe your brooder?I need help again. Last time my chick died about 12 hrs after it hatched. I just hatched another one and it isn't very active. It is about 14 hrs old. It is making noise but not walking around. Any help u could give would b great
Can you post a photo of the brooder and the chick?We have a box with newspaper in bottom and a heat lamp. Temp inside by lamp is 99. The chick just seems sluggish
