Washingtonians Come Together! Washington Peeps

Ok, Jasmine made it the night.
This would be her 4th day of life.
She is isolating a bit. You can see in the pic.
Today I am going to go out and create a new baby box where new ( 4 day olds)and newer chicks (2 week olds)can see one another but not touch. I heard the younger chicks can learn from the older chicks if they can see them.

Ok, it's hard to see but Jasmine is the small one huddled by the food. Her sisters are the two by the dandelion clump.
Jasmine just isn't active like the others.

Wake sleepy heads! You have a new chick momma who needs advice!

Well if the lethargic behavior is more than just chick naps but without other symptoms I am not sure what you can do but make sure the chick is getting enough nutrients and water. Growing can be tiresome work but there should be bursts of activity between the nap times.

Thank you

Can you post a photo of the whole brooder setup? The most common mistake first timers make is keeping the chicks in a brooder that is too small, and keeping the chicks much too warm.

Ok, I ran home. 250w red light 20 inches abovery a 14 inch tub.

They share the light with my 2 week old chicks who are wanting less heat.

They may be needing more space hard to say how many chicks are in that tub
please and how big a floor space is in it
