Cute! The brooder looks pretty dirty though. Cocci could occur. Also, why are they huddled? Are there drafts? Are they too cold or warm? Lastly, their food looks pelleted. Babies can't digest that. They need crumbles. Just some concerns

Thanks Altona. Very good points for Asian red neck. They are shy and nervous in front of the camera and also a big dog is outside. I have crumbled feeds in the long feeder and pellet feed in the bowl. They don't eat that much pellets yet because it is too big for them.

Do you have clean, dry straw or shavings that could be used as bedding?

That is very good idea. I tried different beddings before but I like sand bedding the best. I will update with sand bedding later. Thank you

I agree with all of this. I would also try handling them a bit more. I make sure to pick my babies up every night and "inspect" them for lice or mites. If you start at a young age they will be more cooperative when they are older.
