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!

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
Yeso New Mexico 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 Yeso,
New Mexico Baby chicks are extremely
cute and
challenging to stand up to,
however it's finest to plan for their
arrival before you obtain them. Prepare first
by gathering not only the
appropriate materials, but
also the correct
knowledge to take care of
them. Raising baby chicks is relatively
easy, you merely need
to offer them with the following: A
clean as well as warm
environment Plenty of food and also water Interest and
love Environment Your habitat can be a straightforward box, aquarium,
pet cat service provider, or guinea
pig cage. Line it with old towels and also
blankets (with no loosened
strings!) to begin, as well as after a few weeks make use of straw over newspaper.
Note: Avoid utilizing just
newspaper or other slipper
surfaces-- or your chicks legs could expand
malformed. You likewise require
something to serve up food as well as
water in, such as a chicken feeder and also water
recipe from the feed store, or a pickle container
cover for food and also a family
pet bird water dispenser from an animal shop. Also, as the chicks age you can introduce a perch
right into the environment to obtain them
educated on setting down. Heat To
maintain your chicks warm you have to
give them with a warmth source.
This can be as basic as a 100 watt
light bulb in a reflective clamp design light from a
hardware shop, or an infrared reptile warmth
light bulb also function very
well (my
referral). Chicks require this
warmth 24/7 until their downy fluff is
changed with plumes (which could use
up to two months). The newly
hatched out need a temperature
between 90 and also 100 degrees,
and every week this could
be minimized by
about 5 levels or
so. The heat resource should be on simply one side of the cage
to enable chicks an array of
temperature levels. The chicks are your ideal
thermostat- if they are hiding in the
opposite edge of your warmth
lamp, you need to
decrease the temperature level. If
they are surrounding each other under the
heat (not just cuddling),
you need to add some warmth.
Home cleaning
Tidiness is vital and also it keeps your chicks healthy and
balanced. Make certain to alter
the bed linen
frequently and also
consistently supply clean
food as well as water Food and also water.
Chicks expand extremely quickly
which needs a lot of clean
food and water. Offer
sufficient whatsoever times and inspect
typically to prevent thirsty as well as
hungry chicks. Chick food is different than adult chicken food, and also it comes
in both medicated and non-medicated selections. Feed chick food for the
first 2 months, then
switch to a grower food (~ 17 %
protein) for one more 2 months,
and afterwards to a slightly
lower protein feed or a level feed
(if you have layers). Dirt Some chicks want
to obtain a running start on taking
dust bathrooms, while others will not use up that task until they are
older. If you have the room in your chick
room, introduce a tray of sand or
dirt for them to wash in.
Attention as well as love There are a
few advantages to spending quality time with your chicks. To start
with, they will more than likely bond with you and
not flee as adults. Second, if you
analyze your chicks daily and also
see their behavior, you could
capture disease or various
other problems earlier. Keep an
eye out for wheezing, hopping, or
other unhealthy
indications. Make sure to
likewise consider
their poop, as diarrhea can bring about matted feathers as well
as obstructed cloaca.
Finally, it is essential to watch out for social problems, such as the
littlest chick getting teased. Vacant nest syndrome So your
chicks are now completely feathered
and its time for them to leave the
safety and security of your residence
and also relocate outside into a
coop. Look into our
part on chicken coops to get more information
about cages as well as
proper cage environments.
