So I noticed one of my 6 week olds standing puffed, not really interested in what was going on and just seems off. Poo looked good. She is standing like “cocci chicks” I’ve seen online. I have Corid in my kit, but have some complications 1- I have 2 chicks with B vitamin deficiencies that...

Thanks!!

Definitely!! Trying to do everything to make sure they are as safe as possible. I went way overboard with this small run when the big one will be done is just a few weeks. But they need more space!

I made a 4x8 run for my 6 week old chicks while we wait for the big run to get finished. I was going to pin mesh around the outside and stake it to the ground, but have seen others put hardware cloth on the bottom of the actual run. I am hesitant to do that as it seems like it would hurt their...

Thanks all. I ended up adding more washers, spaced out about 4-6 inches. I’ve worked on this thing until it’s almost killed me. 🤣. I’m too old for this. 😩

We are fairly rural.

I’m building a pen for chicks outside. Is this hardware cloth attached safely or do I need to put wood over the washers?

Thanks

Oops. Thought I did.

I was told it was construction sand.

That sounds interesting. I’m fine with having someone one full feeder, but i need one that will keep it dry.

Thats what I wanted to hear. No glue! Guess I’ll just check under it every so often. Maybe sprinkle DE between. I think it will be easier to clean that what it has now. And add some insulation

It’s REALLY tough and heavy duty. Not sure if it’s actually rubber, it’s the flooring they use in gyms. I could barely cut it with my utility knife.

I’m laying a rubber mat type flooring over the coop wood floor. Do I need to glue it down to prevent bugs from living under it?

We are going out of town for 4 days and I’d like a feeder i can keep in the run that is weatherproof and safe for 6 week olds. A lot of auto feeders say for 12 weeks and up because they ports are big enough to get inside and get stuck.

Hello. Trying to figure out how to find someone to feed/water my chickens when we are away, but anyone with chicken know-how will most likely have chickens and I’d like to keep bio security in mind. Dont want someone wearing their chicken boots in my coop and others, you know?

I currently have one that is much smaller than the rest. She was wobbly for a few days. i started giving her poultry cell vitamins and she’s back to acting healthy, but still tiny. I also have one that can’t walk that I’ve started on the vitamins and see a little improvement.

Thank you!! This gives me hope. I do see a little improvement today. She’s gone from not walking AT ALL to starting to get up and take a few unsteady steps.

Thats amazing! How long did it take for her to get better?

Thank you. So you just gave her the two drops by mouth the once, then normal dose in her water after? I hope we have the same outcome.
