My 25 meaties are now 1 week and I was wondering when do I start a feeding schedule? (eat for 12hrs and remove the food for 12 hours) Also I fill the feeder in the morning and by night its getting quite low, should I just keep it topped up or let it run down? Also what age can I let them have full run of the coop? Do I just wait until they out grow the brooder "box"? Last but certainly not least , I have lost one chick, I believe I didn't catch a 'plugged vent' in time, I have since checked everyone and cleaned those that needed yesterday, but I notice a few already have poop on them again. The temp in the brooder runs between 70 and 80, Do I unplug the light during the day? or is there something else I can do?
Thanks
