[QUOTE="Lammie, post: 623599, member: 3306"] A chick? It needs a heat lamp for the cold, medicated chick starter and fresh water at all times. If you have one chicken you might as well get more if you have somewhere to put them. It needs to be in a box, preferably inside the garage out of the wind. It will die if it gets too cold, so keep it warm. Dont' feed the chick until it gets warmed up. I don't know why, but that seems to be the case with all small, orphaned animals. Maybe not chicks, but you can never be too careful. Water needs to be in a shallow container because it will drown itself. Don't be disappointed if it dies. They have a tendency to just die when the get stressed. If you get the crazy idea to take up chickens as a hobby or for eggs, the book [u]Storey's Guide To Raising Chickens [/u]is very good. You can get in at TSC. Tells you everything you need to know. [/QUOTE]
