    Tips for raising a runt?

    Does anyone have advice on caring for a runt. I have two chicks, 5 days old, one a male and one a female runt. They were given to me to foster for a farm so that the runt could have a better chance. I have never had chicks before. Any help would be appreciated! I attached some pictures of my chicks.

    It appears that my broody hen "helped" two chicks hatch today by pecking their shells away after they creating the first external pip. This resulted in both having a partially unabsorbed yolk, one is a little bloody, and one has a head injury (probably from an accidental peck). They are...
