Here is the bin the baby chicks live in until they are about 5-6 weeks old.
Adolescent Chicken Home
As you can see they are quite a bit bigger than the babies. These are around 7 weeks old. They just have a kiddie pool with metal fencing around it and they are in the garage. They no longer need a light.
Back of the Coop
This is the back of the coop. The building on the right is the coop and the building on the left is a play area and where their water is. They also have some outdoor area as you can see by the fenced in area.
Inside of the Coop
Definitely nothing special, but they have their food and a two story coop. The top area has their nesting boxes.
Looking into the Play Area
They spend most of their time in here when it is raining and windy. Their water is in here and a hanging roost that they don't seem to like.
Inside the Play Area
This is the inside of the previous picture. They have a decent amount of room about 8x12 in here and their water is a hanging water to the right of the picture.

catalog is a yearly traditions in many houses. My kids and I eagerly await

Typically hatcheries online offer both standard breeds

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

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
Corinna Maine 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 Corinna,
Maine Baby chicks are really
cute and
tough to resist,
yet it's best to plan for their
arrival prior to you obtain them. Prepare initially
by gathering not only the
right materials, but
likewise the proper
expertise to care for
them. Raising baby chicks is fairly
easy, you merely have to supply them with the following: A tidy and warm and comfortable
habitat A lot of food and water Attention and also
love Habitat Your environment can be a
simple box, aquarium,
cat carrier, or guinea
pig cage. Line it with old towels and
coverings (without any loosened
strings!) to start, and after a
couple of weeks make use of straw over newspaper.
Note: Avoid making use of only
paper or other slipper
surfaces-- or your chicks legs can expand
malformed. You also need
something to dish out food and also
water in, such as a chicken feeder and also water
dish from the feed shop, or a pickle jar
cover for food and also an animal bird water dispenser from a pet store. Likewise, as the chicks age you could introduce a perch
right into the habitat to get them
educated on perching. Heat To
keep your chicks heat you need to
offer them with a warmth source.
This could be as straightforward as a 100 watt
light bulb in a reflective clamp style light from an equipment shop, or an infrared reptile warmth
bulb likewise work very
well (my
suggestion). Chicks need this
heat 24/7 till their downy fluff is
replaced with plumes (which could occupy to 2 months). The freshly
hatched out need a temperature
in between 90 and also 100 degrees,
and weekly this could
be minimized by
about 5 levels or
so. The heat source must get on simply one side of the cage
to permit chicks a range of
temperatures. The chicks are your best
thermostat- if they are hiding in the
opposite edge of your heat
lamp, you have to
lower the temperature. If
they are smothering each other under the
warmth (not merely cuddling),
you need to put some warmth.
House cleaning
Cleanliness is vital and also it keeps your chicks healthy. Be sure to change
the bed linen
commonly as well as
consistently provide tidy
food and also water Food as well as water.
Chicks grow quite quickly
which needs a lot of clean
food as well as water. Supply
sufficient at all times and check
often to
stop thirsty as well as
hungry chicks. Chick food is various compared
to grown-up chicken food, and also it can be found in both medicated as well as non-medicated selections. Feed chick food for the
first two months, then
switch over to a raiser food (~ 17 %
protein) for another 2 months,
and then to a somewhat
reduced healthy protein feed or a layer feed
(if you have levels). Soil Some chicks prefer to get a running start on taking
dirt baths, while others will not take
up that activity up until they are
older. If you have the space in your chick
unit, introduce a tray of sand or
filth for them to shower in.
Focus and love There are a
few advantages to hanging
out with your chicks. To start
with, they will certainly probably bond with you and
not run away as adults. Second, if you
examine your chicks daily and
view their actions, you can
capture disease or various
other problems earlier. Keep an
eye out for wheezing, hopping, or
other unhealthy
signs. Be sure to
also check out
their poop, as looseness of the bowels can lead
to matted feathers as well
as clogged up cloaca.
Last but not least, it is necessary to watch out for social concerns, such as the
smallest chick getting teased. Vacant nest disorder So your
chicks are currently totally feathered
and its time for them to leave the
safety and security of your house
and relocate outside into a
coop. Have a look at our
section on chicken coops to find out
more
regarding coops as well as
correct cage environments.
