If you hatched them, leave them in the incubator overnight and take them out into the brooder in the morning.How do you help a week chick?
1) it seems like a good set up. It depends on the weather where you are. Here in England it wouldn't work because of the cold and wind. So it's your call.
How do you keep the chicks separate but not the mamas? I can't quite work that out in my imagination.2) I never separate my broodies, but wait for mama to wean the chicks off then integrate
She is doing great after you suggestion. Eating and going potty. Positive improvements!Wait for him to strengthen up then prepare a bowl of warm water and a soft toothbrush. Dip the toothbrush in the water and gently scrub the gunk off.
That worked! She is getting stronger by the min. Staying up all night to ensure she eats every couple of hours. Thank you so much. I am forever grateful for this site to be able to communicate and ask questions. #ducklifesaver! Phil 4:13You can also use a dry toothbrush, and your finger tips to gently preen the dried gunk off.
I'm only 'specialised' in silkie sexing.I definitely need to more about sexing chicks. I tried wing sexing which I know only works for certain breeds. I try vent sexing but I don't think I'm doing it right

That's what I'm always afraid of doing, is hurting the chick.I'm only 'specialised' in silkie sexing.
I always go by combs. Don't try to vent sex unless you are specialised because it an kill the chick if not done properly.
