    Advice please I have baby chicks

    Thank you this information is so helpful to me as I wasn’t sure what I was doing was ok. They already roost during the day together so I’m sure they will work out the sleeping arrangements as they mature Again I appreciate your input very much.

    Advice please I have baby chicks

    Perfect. Thank you. I have not raised chicks before I never wanted to but mother hen was adamant she wanted babies. Anyway the mother hen is the top hen at our place she puts all others in their place( even before babies) so to be honest the orphans haven’t had any trouble yet. I will be...

    Advice please I have baby chicks

    Hi guys. Well as a first time mummy I think I have done well. They are 7 weeks now and the older ones that have a mum are about 8 or 9 weeks old now. I have tried letting everyone in and around them all and mummy Jen said no. So that was a fail. The rooster had to break up the fights with the...

    Advice please I have baby chicks

    Didn’t work. She told them off when she started to settle her babies so I took them out. If she is happy for them to be in with her and the babies during the day then I will continue to put them in there. I put them back out with her early this morning. I love watching them play. I guess all I...

    Advice please I have baby chicks

    Thank you everyone for your replies. I have just had number 4. Today I made a bigger box for the 3 chicks with no heat and just food and water. They really loved it. Thanks for suggesting it. So the 4th one was in with the light and about 15 minutes ago hatched. Think there are 3 more to go. I...

    Advice please I have baby chicks

    Thank you. This helps. Yes I move the light up and down. I did notice they were trying to get away from the heat. I just thought given they can’t self regulate their temperature I thought it would be best to leave it on in there. I can turn it off during the day as they are in my shed and it’s...
