Comments on How to Raise Baby Chicks

I just bought one seems healthy and very frienndly walking over my key bourd.

I just brought home 6 fertilized eggs for my broody hen. She hopped right on them. How long would I need to keep them separated from my other 2 hens after they hatch?

how can you take care a hurt feet on a baby chick 3month old.

I'm getting a chick in about 3 days!

am also facing the same issue. Just learn't that putting vinegar in the water for chicks would be a remedy.

is a chick starter good for a 3 week old chicks? or a chick booster is better?

ok its nice

I bought in 59 baby chicks from a hatchery. they seem to be doing good its now thre days.. and no casulty as yet I am delighted.

No we ave 18 out of 25 die

did yr chicken make it? what age/breed?

Chicks are qute wents they hach.

Chick are veary qute wants they hach.

I can believe that they would eat too much just like any type of baby that makes sense. but I agree with you if you limit it they won't. Otherwise we wouldn't have chickens to eat. That is funny. Are you going to use them as fryer's??

it did come from 1 of the teachers. but I went back up there and talked to another teacher and she laughed and said they will kill themselves by over feeding. but as long as I dont feed em too much they will be just fine. and they are fryer chickens. so I can get eggs and then butchet them. I feel like farmer John now lol.

what, how else would chicks grow up. I hope that didn't come from a teacher. THAT would be scary.

we got some chicks from the school and they told me that they chicks would get too fat and break their legs and die if we didn't break their necks at around 8 weeks..is this true? how can I prevent this from happening?

help! one of my chickens is rolling his head back and falling backwards but he eats and drinks water?

my chicken suffers from coccidiosis last harvest they died so easily.. the causes are plenty, weather condition, viruses, etc.. im studying what might be the cause in my case..

yes

I'm going to raise chicks.

do we have to keep the feeder with them at all times? and what can prevent the chicks from getting coccidiosis? because im putting newspaper as bedding and im afraid they might eat their leavings. tnx

i love chicks! :).

its spring do i have to put a haeting lamp on the chicks

So we thought, his toes just took a little longer to spread out. Josh was concerned he would not be able to walk. Heez doing great now! :)

Did you have a handicaped one hatch?
