New babies under lamp ahhhhhhhhh
« on: January 31, 2011, 16:18 »
I have finally got my new chicks (sorry these are for the pot).

I have read and re read all instructions and was prepared but now they are actually here I cant remember a thing. do i need to show them how to eat and drink?

Do they make this noise all the time or do they sleep??

Will my dogs ever get used to sharing the radiator with the chooks?

Why didn't you call me Rach???

how old are the chicks?  I have only ever shown the chicks where their food and water is for the first hour or so.  I put an egg tray down, spread chick crumbs over it then place a few chicks on top of it.

then I put a few chicks around the drinkers.  I use the little green and white mushroom drinkers for a few chicks.  They soon get the hint, and no they never seem to sleep.  Just as a few try to doze off, another one decides he wants to be the opposit side of the bunch and runs over the top of them all!!!!
