I just had to share some pictures of our newest babies. They are black sexlinks and one golden sexlink. They are sooo cute. We just got them yesterday, but they are 10 days old. Since it has done nothing but rain, 2.75 inches between yesterday and today, they are safe and dry in the garage. When everything dries out they will go to the outdoor brooder.
I’ll post more pictures as time goes.

pounds when full grown. Just like ordering anything online there are pros

Quantity - you must order a certain number of chicks. Typically hatcheries
will require you buy a minimum of 25 chicks at a time. The number is
necessary for the chicks survival during shipping. All 25 chicks are put
in one small box without heat. They are crowded in the box and produce
enough body heat to arrive in good shape. * The wait - If you choose to
buy chicks from a feed store you will have them the same day but if you
choose to go with a hatchery you have to wait until they are ready to ship
and then wait for the chicks to arrive. Ordering baby chicks online in
Tanacross Alaska is easy and has always been a very pleasant
experience of me. It can be a little frustrating waiting for the chicks
but it's so worth the wait. When the post office calls and you hear all
those little "cheeps" or "chirps" in the background you'll know the wait
was worth it! How to Care for your new baby chickens in Tanacross,
Alaska Baby chicks are very
adorable and also
challenging to resist,
but it's finest to prepare for their
arrival before you get them. Prepare first
by gathering not only the
appropriate products, however
additionally the proper
expertise to take care of
them. Raising baby chicks is reasonably
straightforward, you merely have to provide them with the following: A tidy and warm
habitat Plenty of food and also water Focus and
love Habitat Your environment can be an easy box, aquarium,
pet cat carrier, or guinea
porker cage. Line it with old towels as well as
coverings (without any loosened
strings!) to begin, and also after a few weeks use straw over paper.
Keep in mind: Avoid making use of just
paper or various other slipper
surfaces-- or your chicks legs could expand
malformed. You additionally require
something to provide food and
water in, such as a chicken feeder as well as water
dish from the feed shop, or a pickle jar
cover for food and also a pet dog bird water dispenser from a
pet dog store. Likewise, as the chicks age you could introduce a perch
into the environment to obtain them
trained on setting down. Heat To
keep your chicks heat you should
supply them with a warmth resource.
This could be as straightforward as a 100 watt
light bulb in a reflective clamp style light from an equipment store, or an infrared reptile warmth
bulb additionally function very
well (my
referral). Chicks need this
heat 24/7 up until their downy fluff is
changed with plumes (which could take up to two months). The recently
hatched require a temperature level
between 90 and also 100 levels,
and also weekly this could
be lowered by
approximately 5 levels or
so. The heat resource ought
to get on just one side of the cage
to allow chicks a variety of
temperature levels. The chicks are your finest
thermostat- if they are hiding in the
opposite edge of your warmth
light, you need to
lower the temperature. If
they are surrounding each other under the
warmth (not merely cuddling),
you need to put some warmth.
Housekeeping
Cleanliness is key and it maintains your chicks healthy. Be sure to alter
the bed linens
typically and
consistently provide tidy
food and water Food and also water.
Chicks expand quite quick
which requires lots of clean
food and also water. Offer
enough in any way times and check
often to avoid dehydrated and
starving chicks. Chick food is various than grown-up chicken food, and also it comes
in both medicated and non-medicated ranges. Feed chick food for the
very first two months, then
switch over to a raiser food (~ 17 %
healthy protein) for an additional 2 months,
then to a somewhat
reduced healthy protein feed or a level feed
(if you have layers). Dirt Some chicks prefer to get a running start on taking
dust bathrooms, while others won't occupy that task till they are
older. If you have the space in your chick
enclosure, present a tray of sand or
dust for them to bathe in.
Interest as well as love There are a
few advantages to hanging
out with your chicks. First off, they will certainly most
likely bond with you and
not escape as grownups. Second, if you
analyze your chicks daily and
see their actions, you could
capture illness or other problems earlier. Watch out for hissing, limping, or
other unhealthy
indicators. Make certain to
additionally check out
their poop, as diarrhea could lead
to matted feathers and also stopped up cloaca.
Lastly, it is essential to watch out for social problems, such as the
tiniest chick getting picked
on. Vacant nest disorder So your
chicks are now totally feathered
and its time for them to leave the
security of your home
and move outside right into a cage. Have a look at our
part on chicken coops to learn more
regarding coops and also
appropriate cage environments.
