Just want to thank you all for suggestions but unfortunately she died at a week after I posted (chick was 2 weeks old) :( not meant to be I suppose! Other two chicks are doing great although the polish is slow growing she is eating and doing all the good chicken things so I’m not worried! 💕...
Thanks so much for your advice and supportive words. I have found a place who has some sexed chicks available but I think I only want to get one more to replace this one that will probably die because they are causing me so much stress and I don’t want to add to the stress! Thank you again :)
Well I don’t have a heat lamp. I have a brooder heat plate which they still go under even though it’s very hot weather. The other two chicks are perfectly fine and vigorously chickening!
Hello!
First time raising chicks and owning chickens at all. I want to give lots of context so sorry this will be long..
Basically I started with 4 x 1 day old chicks from a local breeder who hatches all year round.. it’s early Autumn here in Australia and currently going through a heat wave...
