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:

Baby Chickens Mail in
Jackson, Mississippi
Thumbing through a baby chickens for sale in Jackson Mississippi
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
Jackson Mississippi * 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 Jackson
Mississippi * 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.
Baby Chicks Price in
Jackson, Mississippi
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
Jackson 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 Jackson,
Mississippi Baby chicks are extremely
adorable and
hard to withstand,
yet it's ideal to prepare for their
arrival prior to you get them. Prepare first
by collecting not just the
appropriate materials, yet
also the correct
knowledge to take care of
them. Raising baby chicks is relatively
easy, you just have to give them with the following: A
clean and cozy
habitat Plenty of food as well
as water Focus and also
love Habitat Your habitat could be an easy box, aquarium,
pet cat carrier, or guinea
pig cage. Line it with old towels as well as
coverings (without loosened
strings!) to start, and after a few weeks utilize straw over paper.
Keep in mind: Avoid making use of only
paper or other sandal
surface areas-- or your chicks legs could expand
malformed. You also require
something to provide food and also
water in, such as a chicken feeder and also water
dish from the feed shop, or a pickle container
lid for food and an animal bird water dispenser from a family pet shop. Likewise, as the chicks age you could present a perch
into the habitat to get them
educated on setting down. Heat To
keep your chicks warm you have to
provide them with a heat resource.
This can be as simple as a 100 watt
light bulb in a reflective clamp style light from an equipment store, or an infrared reptile heat
bulb additionally function very
well (my
suggestion). Chicks require this
heat 24/7 till their downy fluff is
replaced with plumes (which could occupy to two months). The newly
hatched require a temperature level
between 90 and also 100 degrees,
and also each week this can
be minimized by
about 5 degrees or
so. The warmth resource need to get on simply one side of the cage
to permit chicks a range of
temperatures. The chicks are your finest
thermostat- if they are concealing in the
contrary edge of your warmth
light, you have to
reduce the temperature. If
they are surrounding each various other under the
heat (not just curling up),
you need to include some warmth.
House cleaning
Cleanliness is key and it maintains your chicks healthy and
balanced. Make certain to transform
the bed linen
usually and
always provide tidy
food and water Food as well as water.
Chicks grow very quickly
which calls for a lot of tidy
food and also water. Offer
sufficient at all times as well
as check
typically to
stop thirsty and
starving chicks. Chick food is various compared
to grown-up chicken food, and it is available in both medicated and
also non-medicated selections. Feed chick food for the
first two months, after that
change to a raiser food (~ 17 %
protein) for one more 2 months,
and afterwards to a slightly
lower protein feed or a level feed
(if you have levels). Soil Some chicks want
to obtain a running start on taking
dirt bathrooms, while others won't take
up that task till they are
older. If you have the area in your chick
unit, introduce a tray of sand or
dirt for them to bathe in.
Interest and also love There are a
few benefits to hanging
out with your chicks. To start
with, they will probably bond with you and
not run away as grownups. Second, if you
examine your chicks daily and
see their behavior, you could
capture illness or various
other issues previously. Watch out for hissing, limping, or
various other unhealthy
indicators. Make certain to
additionally look at
their poop, as looseness of the bowels can result in matted plumes as well
as blocked cloaca.
Lastly, it is important to look out
for social concerns, such as the
smallest chick obtaining teased. Empty nest syndrome So your
chicks are currently totally feathery
and also its time for them to leave the
security of your home
and relocate outside right into a
coop. Have a look at our
section on chicken cages to read more
about coops as well as
appropriate cage environments.
