Little problem this morning did last feed at 1 and haven't been able to give them there morning feed yet they all have some food in there crop I think it's due to last night being very cold and there temp was under 20 this morning I've brought them to my mum's which is warmer so just waiting for it to digest Sent from my GT-I9300 using proboards

You need to be careful it doesnt go sour sydney.try giving them a little cooled down boiled water( to the temperature you give your food at) then gently massage each of their crops to try and get it to move.temperature drop will definitley slow their digestion down.this is where hand rearing can be very frustrating,but you have done the right thing by getting them warmed up. Keep in touch with us. Sue

They are doing much better since being at mums the Brooder isn't getting damp either. Next step is working out the best method of cleaning them as some have dried food on them

Next step is working out the best method of cleaning them as some have dried food on them Sent from my GT-I9300 using proboards When you have finished feeding each one have a moist tissue by so you can remove the food from around their lttle beaks.you might find you will get a slight build up around where the check feather patches are,you need to soak it well with warm water until you can carefully pick it off,but be very careful or you might pull their feathers out as well. its great they are keeping warm at your mums,how often are you feeding them now they are at your mums? sue

But my house gets cold so I assume the coldness is changing the temp from the top plastic part. And thatsbwhy it got humid
