Isn't this Aeracana baby chick adorable perched on a ceramic pumpkin? She has grown into a beautiful chicken. We are still waiting for that first blue egg from her! Do you remember when I did the back in April? I had so much fun posing those cute little things... I took these pictures back in the Spring when the chicks were just a few days old. I thought I would share them on this gloomy Monday to put a smile on your face ;-)
"I would rather sit on a pumpkin, and have it all to myself, than be crowded on a velvet cushion."
- Henry David Thoreau
This White Rock chick has her leg propped on the pumpkin stem... gave her best profile for the camera... such a sassy little poser. She now thinks she is queen of the chicken yard.
Pssst...I may have gone crazy in those few days posing the baby chickens...
I did Christmas props also ( hehe) Sharing with:

Thumbing through a baby chickens for sale in Howard Georgia
catalog is a yearly traditions in many houses. My kids and I eagerly await
the Murray McMurray Hatchery catalog. We love looking at all the cool and
different chicken breeds available. Catalogs are free so head on over to
their site and request one if you are interested.
Typically hatcheries online offer both standard breeds
and bantams. Bantams are fun hardy little chickens, they lay tiny eggs
that kids especially love collecting. Bantams typically weigh less than 2
pounds when full grown. Just like ordering anything online there are pros
and cons to ordering baby chicks online. Pros of buying baby chicks in
Howard Georgia * Big Selection - If you are wanting a large
variety of different chicken breeds and egg colors, you will find the best
selection at an online hatchery. * Both Bantams and full sized chickens
available * You get to choose what sex you want. If you want a mixture of
both male and female then choosing a "straight run" will save you money
and you will get a mixture of male and female chicks. You can also choose
all males or all females too. * Weekly specials. Hatcheries have sales on
chicks, you are likely to get a good deal if you are flexible with the
breeds you are wanting. Cons of buying baby chicks in Howard
Georgia * Order early to get the best selection. Certain breeds sell
out fast, sometimes as early as 6 months in advance of shipping! If you
are wanting a certain breed it's best to order your chicks in the fall
before their orders sell out.

Howard, Georgia
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
Howard Georgia 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 Howard,
Georgia Baby chicks are quite
cute as well as
hard to withstand,
but it's finest to prepare for their
arrival prior to you obtain them. Prepare initially
by gathering not only the
appropriate materials, but
likewise the correct
understanding to take care of
them. Raising baby chicks is fairly
straightforward, you merely should offer them with the following: A
clean and also warm
habitat Plenty of food as well
as water Interest and also
love Habitat Your habitat can be a straightforward box, aquarium,
cat carrier, or guinea
pig cage. Line it with old towels and
coverings (with no loosened
strings!) to start, and also after a
couple of weeks use straw over paper.
Note: Avoid making use of just
paper or various other sandal
surfaces-- or your chicks legs could grow
malformed. You also require
something to provide food and also
water in, such as a chicken feeder and also water
dish from the feed store, or a pickle jar
cover for food as well as a pet bird water dispenser from a family pet store. Also, as the chicks get
older you can present a perch
right into the environment to get them
trained on perching. Warmth To
maintain your chicks warm you have to
offer them with a warmth source.
This could be as basic as a 100 watt
light bulb in a reflective clamp design light from a
hardware store, or an infrared reptile warmth
bulb also function effectively (my
recommendation). Chicks require this
warmth 24/7 up until their downy fluff is
changed with plumes (which can occupy to 2 months). The newly
hatched need a temperature
between 90 and 100 levels,
as well as each week this could
be reduced by
about 5 levels approximately. The heat source should get on merely one side of the cage
to enable chicks an array of
temperature levels. The chicks are your ideal
thermostat- if they are concealing in the
other corner of your warmth
lamp, you need to
reduce the temperature level. If
they are smothering each other under the
warmth (not simply cuddling),
you should include some warmth.
Housekeeping
Sanitation is vital and it keeps your chicks healthy and
balanced. Make sure to alter
the bed linen
typically and also
constantly supply clean
food as well as water Food and water.
Chicks expand really quick
which calls for lots of clean
food and water. Offer
sufficient at all times as well
as examine
often to
stop thirsty and also
hungry chicks. Chick food is various than grown-up chicken food, and it can be found in both medicated and
also non-medicated varieties. Feed chick food for the
initial two months, after that
switch to a raiser food (~ 17 %
healthy protein) for another 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
filth bathrooms, while others won't use up that task up until they are
older. If you have the room in your chick
room, introduce a tray of sand or
dirt for them to shower in.
Attention and love There are a couple of advantages to spending quality time with your chicks. First of all, they will more than likely bond with you and
not escape as grownups. Second, if you
analyze your chicks daily and also
watch their behavior, you can
catch illness or other problems previously. Keep an
eye out for hissing, hopping, or
other unhealthy
indicators. Be sure to
additionally look at
their poop, as looseness of the bowels could result in matted feathers and blocked cloaca.
Lastly, it is necessary to watch out for social concerns, such as the
littlest chick getting teased. Vacant nest disorder So your
chicks are currently totally feathered
as well as its time for them to leave the
security of your home
and relocate outside into a
coop. Check out our
area on chicken coops for more information
concerning coops and
correct coop habitats.
