You’re not stupid! Everyone makes mistakes when trying something new. You came to the right place for help! I’m new too! I agree having a separate water was a great call and so was separating a hurt chick. Keep an eye on them and keep feeding the medicated feed! Give it some time:) keep trying!! ❤️

I’m definitely keeping the temp appropriate and it is a long brooder so there’s an area that’s closer to 85 and the warmer area stays between 90-95:) I’m about to adjust tomorrow as that’s officially his one week mark. I got some Corid after he was still wobbly the third day actually! And the...

It’s not tomorrow but here’s the pic. I do plan on cleaning out another tub this size when they all get a little older so they have enough room. Some may say it’s overkill but I check on them every house from 6am-10pm/12am. I’m constantly cleaning out water and poop bits and overseeing the flock...

I hatched my very first egg almost a week ago. Baby is smaller than the other chicks I got from bomgaars but is also a few days younger. His wings are looking funny as well I’ll attach a pic. So he’s wobbly when he stands. Otherwise has great energy, drinks, eats, poops well, and is loved by all...

Thanks for the feedback! I did have a different tub but totally spaced that it had been played in the night before. So that’s what I had on hand. They’re much more comfortable now and I’ll post a pic tomorrow!

I’d love to change my set up for next year to a bigger round metal bin, I didn’t realize this! Definitely makes me excited for next year:)

Thank you for the advice! Already put a bigger tub into action. I forgot that my kids had gotten it muddy the day before. It needed to be scrubbed out and fully cleaned:) all other chicks are doing great still🎉

Thanks for the insight!! It is up high and yes I got them in a bigger tub now but I completely spaced that my kids had got mud in it and had to get that cleaned and fully air dried! I’ll post a pick tomorrow! All the other chicks are doing swell. The thermometer is in there in the pic but it’s...

I have a little thermometer in there right under the lamp where it hits most and it’s raised up a little higher the lights in the room were just off at the time! :) all the other chicks are doing good but two had a little bit of pasty butts but got very gently cleaned up!

I picked up eight chicks yesterday from bomgaars (or however you spell it, they took over orschelns). There was one that was pretty little and was super tired when they got home. Ate a couple bites, drank a little water, ended up dying:( no bad poops that I could see. I came in to check on them...
