A couple of weeks ago, I went back to Atlanta to celebrate the upcoming arrival of my first niece. Proud parents-to-be Margaret and Matt have nicknamed her Baby Chick, a nod to their last name, so we decided to throw a chick-themed baby shower.
Boiled peanuts made an excellent snack during the party favor preparation. We stuffed these bags with Peeps, Chic-O-Sticks, Chiclets and a little shredded green paper.
The original Chick helped out with the confetti cutting.

After the baby shower and the Anti-Baby-Shower-He-Man party the boys had, we had some fun trying out Baby Chick’s new loot on Cleo, the aging and attention-starved kitty.

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
Grenada Mississippi 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 Grenada,
Mississippi Baby chicks are extremely
cute and
hard to stand up to,
but it's finest to prepare for their
arrival before you obtain them. Prepare initially
by compiling not just the
appropriate products, but
also the proper
knowledge to take care of
them. Raising baby chicks is fairly
basic, you just should give them with the following: A tidy and warm and comfortable
habitat A lot of food and also water Focus and also
love Environment Your environment could be an easy box, aquarium,
cat carrier, or guinea
pig cage. Line it with old towels and
blankets (without any loose
strings!) to begin, and also after a
couple of weeks make use of straw over paper.
Note: Avoid making use of just
newspaper or various other slipper
surfaces-- or your chicks legs could expand
malformed. You additionally need
something to dish out food as well as
water in, such as a chicken feeder as well as water
recipe from the feed shop, or a pickle jar
cover for food and a pet bird water dispenser from an animal store. Also, as the chicks age you could introduce a perch
right into the habitat to get them
educated on perching. Warmth To
maintain your chicks warm you have to
offer them with a heat source.
This can be as simple as a 100 watt
light bulb in a reflective clamp style light from a
hardware store, or an infrared reptile heat
light bulb additionally function extremely well (my
referral). Chicks require this
warmth 24/7 until their downy fluff is
changed with plumes (which could occupy to two months). The newly
hatched out require a temperature level
in between 90 and also 100 levels,
and every week this can
be lowered by
around 5 levels approximately. The warmth source should get on simply one side of the cage
to allow chicks an array of
temperatures. The chicks are your ideal
thermostat- if they are hiding in the
opposite corner of your heat
lamp, you have to
minimize the temperature. If
they are surrounding each various other under the
heat (not merely snuggling),
you need to add some warmth.
House cleaning
Sanitation is essential and it maintains your chicks healthy and
balanced. Be sure to transform
the bed linen
usually as well as
consistently offer tidy
food as well as water Food as well as water.
Chicks expand extremely fast
which calls for plenty of tidy
food and water. Provide
sufficient at all times and also check
typically to
stop thirsty as well as
hungry chicks. Chick food is various than adult chicken food, and also it comes
in both medicated as well as non-medicated varieties. Feed chick food for the
initial two months, after that
change to a grower food (~ 17 %
protein) for an additional 2 months,
and afterwards to a slightly
reduced healthy protein feed or a layer feed
(if you have layers). Soil Some chicks want
to obtain a head start on taking
dirt bathrooms, while others won't take
up that activity till they are
older. If you have the space in your chick
room, present a tray of sand or
filth for them to bathe in.
Focus and also love There are a couple of advantages to hanging
out with your chicks. To start
with, they will certainly most
likely bond with you as well as
not escape as adults. Second, if you
examine your chicks daily and
view their habits, you could
catch health problem or various
other troubles earlier. Keep an
eye out for wheezing, limping, or
other harmful
indicators. Make certain to
additionally look at
their poop, as looseness of the bowels could cause matted feathers and also stopped up cloaca.
Lastly, it is important to watch out for social problems, such as the
tiniest chick getting picked
on. Vacant nest disorder So your
chicks are now totally feathery
and also its time for them to leave the
safety of your house
and relocate outside into a
coop. Have a look at our
section on chicken coops to find out
more
about cages and
appropriate cage environments.
