    5 week old chicks and brooder plate question

    Honestly I would remove since they're too big to all fit. With my weather I would be keeping an eye to make sure they're not getting too cold since it's super unpredictable here but with full feather you are good!

    Should there be some kind of oversight required?

    They said it's common right now and they're all unhappy with it. They can't force people and I don't want to think about how many chicks are dying because of this. You can do everything perfect and have loss.. It's part of raising animals but stuff like this doesn't have to happen.

    Light Brahma's and Pasty Butt

    Thank you! I keep checking and it’s just the one that’s had an issue today so maybe we’re on the way to being past it. Originally was 4 so I guess being consistent with checking is helping. Might do the Vaseline with that one too but it’s just enough to be covering the vent and not a huge...

    Frustrated about the availability of chicks
