Yep, I’m that kind of guy. I guess I just like the kind of chicks that hang out at the fair. What can I say?
HaHa… actually I hope you know I’m just playing with words there! We got a small batch of chicks (that’s baby chickens… just in case you didn’t know) from the County Fair. What happens at the fair is that they have an educational booth with eggs in a big see through incubator. These eggs hatch and the kids all go nuts. They love it. For the few days that the exhibit run they must hatch a few hundred chicks. These chicks are put in a large open display for the kids to look at.
If you find yourself at a County Fair with this type of exhibit, ask the volunteer if the chicks are for sale afterwards. At our Fair they have a list that you can put your name on. At closing time on the final day you stand in line ready to pay $0.50 per chick! Wow, that’s cheap 🙂
Enjoy here a short video showing the chicks after a few weeks.
and here is the young rooster after finding his voice!

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
Enders Nebraska 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 Enders,
Nebraska Baby chicks are quite
adorable as well as
challenging to stand up to,
but it's best to plan for their
arrival before you get them. Prepare first
by collecting not only the
right products, however
additionally the correct
knowledge to care for
them. Raising baby chicks is relatively
straightforward, you just have to supply them with the following: A
clean as well as cozy
habitat Lots of food and water Focus as well as
love Environment Your environment can be a
simple box, fish tank,
feline service provider, or guinea
pig cage. Line it with old towels as well as
blankets (without any loose
strings!) to begin, as well as after a
couple of weeks make use of straw over paper.
Note: Avoid using just
paper or various other sandal
surface areas-- or your chicks legs can expand
misshapen. You likewise require
something to serve up food and also
water in, such as a chicken feeder and also water
dish from the feed store, or a pickle jar
lid for food and an animal bird water dispenser from a
pet dog store. Additionally, as the chicks get
older you could introduce a perch
into the environment to obtain them
trained on perching. Heat To
maintain your chicks heat you have to
provide them with a warmth resource.
This could be as simple as a 100 watt
light bulb in a reflective clamp style lamp from a
hardware shop, or an infrared reptile heat
bulb also work effectively (my
suggestion). Chicks require this
heat 24/7 until their downy fluff is
replaced with plumes (which could take up to two months). The newly
hatched out require a temperature
in between 90 as well as 100 levels,
and also weekly this could
be decreased by
roughly 5 degrees approximately. The heat source ought
to get on simply one side of the cage
to allow chicks a variety of
temperatures. The chicks are your finest
thermostat- if they are concealing in the
opposite corner of your heat
lamp, you need to
lower the temperature level. If
they are smothering each other under the
heat (not simply snuggling),
you have to add some warmth.
House cleaning
Tidiness is key as
well as it maintains your chicks healthy. Make sure to change
the bed linen
typically and
always provide clean
food and water Food as well as water.
Chicks expand very fast
which requires a lot of tidy
food and also water. Offer
sufficient at all times and inspect
often to avoid dehydrated and
hungry chicks. Chick food is various compared
to grown-up chicken food, and also it comes
in both medicated and
also non-medicated varieties. Feed chick food for the
initial 2 months, after that
change to a grower food (~ 17 %
healthy protein) for an additional 2 months,
then to a slightly
lower healthy protein feed or a level feed
(if you have levels). Dirt Some chicks prefer to get a head start on taking
dirt baths, while others will not take
up that activity until they are
older. If you have the space in your chick
room, introduce a tray of sand or
dust for them to shower in.
Attention as well as love There are a
few advantages to spending time with your chicks. First of all, they will more than likely bond with you and also
not flee as grownups. Second, if you
examine your chicks daily as well as
watch their actions, you can
catch health problem or other issues previously. Watch out for wheezing, hopping, or
other unhealthy
indications. Be sure to
likewise check out
their poop, as looseness of the bowels could bring about matted plumes as well
as blocked cloaca.
Last but not least, it is important to look out
for social issues, such as the
littlest chick obtaining badgered. Empty nest disorder So your
chicks are currently totally feathered
and its time for them to leave the
safety and security of your house
as well as relocate outside into a
coop. Look into our
part on chicken cages to find out
more
about cages and
appropriate cage environments.
