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:

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
Bemus Point New York 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 Bemus Point,
New York Baby chicks are really
adorable as well as
challenging to stand up to,
yet it's ideal to prepare for their
arrival before you obtain them. Prepare initially
by compiling not only the
right materials, however
also the appropriate
knowledge to look after
them. Raising baby chicks is relatively
basic, you just should offer them with the following: A tidy and warm
environment Lots of food and also water Interest and
love Environment Your environment can be a basic box, aquarium,
cat provider, or guinea
porker cage. Line it with old towels as well as
coverings (without loose
strings!) to start, and after a
couple of weeks use straw over paper.
Keep in mind: Avoid utilizing only
paper or other sandal
surface areas-- or your chicks legs can expand
misshapen. You also need
something to serve up food as well as
water in, such as a chicken feeder and water
meal from the feed shop, or a pickle container
cover for food as well as a pet dog bird water dispenser from a pet shop. Also, as the chicks grow older you can present a perch
right into the habitat to obtain them
educated on setting down. Warmth To
maintain your chicks heat you should
provide them with a heat source.
This could be as simple as a 100 watt
light bulb in a reflective clamp design lamp from a
hardware store, or an infrared reptile heat
bulb additionally work effectively (my
referral). Chicks require this
heat 24/7 till their downy fluff is
changed with plumes (which could occupy to two months). The newly
hatched require a temperature
in between 90 and 100 degrees,
and weekly this could
be reduced by
around 5 degrees approximately. The heat source must get on merely 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 corner of your heat
lamp, you should
decrease the temperature. If
they are smothering each various other under the
heat (not just curling up),
you should include some heat.
House cleaning
Tidiness is key and it maintains your chicks healthy. Be sure to change
the bedding
commonly and
consistently give tidy
food and water Food and water.
Chicks grow extremely quick
which calls for lots of tidy
food and water. Offer
sufficient in any way times as well
as examine
typically to
stop parched as well as
hungry chicks. Chick food is different than grown-up chicken food, as well as it can be found in both medicated and
also non-medicated varieties. Feed chick food for the
first two months, then
switch to a raiser food (~ 17 %
protein) for one more 2 months,
and after that to a somewhat
reduced protein feed or a layer feed
(if you have layers). Soil Some chicks like to get a running start on taking
dirt bathrooms, while others will not take
up that activity up until they are
older. If you have the area in your chick
unit, present a tray of sand or
dust for them to wash in.
Focus and also love There are a couple of benefits to spending quality time with your chicks. To start
with, they will most
likely bond with you and
not flee as adults. Second, if you
examine your chicks daily and
enjoy their actions, you could
capture illness or other troubles previously. Keep an
eye out for hissing, hopping, or
other unhealthy
signs. Be sure to
likewise consider
their poop, as diarrhea can bring about matted plumes and clogged up cloaca.
Last but not least, it is essential to watch out for social problems, such as the
tiniest chick obtaining picked
on. Empty nest syndrome So your
chicks are now fully feathered
as well as its time for them to leave the
safety and security of your house
as well as move outside right into a
coop. Check out our
part on chicken coops to read more
regarding coops and
proper coop environments.
