I get plenty of quote sheets. I try to skim at least most of them, even though in most cases it’s the same old blah-blah say noting bullcrap.
Then there’s Broncos linebacker , and his side business of .
At the very bottom of a stack of quotes from six different Broncos coaches and players came Miller’s most recent poultry-related remarks. Specifically, someone asked him which came first, the chicken or the egg? (Seriously.)
Said Miller: “For me, I think it’d have to be the chicken. You need something to protect the eggs. You just can’t have eggs there. I’m sure there are a lot of theories out there of where stuff comes from. For me, I think it was some form of a chicken or something that had to lay the egg first. It just depends upon how you look at it. Is the glass half full or half empty? For me, it just makes sense for a chicken to come first.”
Hopefully, another member of the media eventually will ask Miller why the chicken crossed the road. Or whether the chickens have large talons. Or, perhaps more importantly, if the rooster goes with the hen, ?

was worth it! How to Care for your new baby chickens in Blanchard,
Oklahoma Baby chicks are very
cute and
challenging to resist,
but it's best to plan for their
arrival prior to you get them. Prepare first
by gathering not just the
right materials, however
likewise the proper
expertise to look after
them. Raising baby chicks is fairly
straightforward, you simply have to offer them with the following: A tidy and also warm and comfortable
environment Lots of food and also water Attention and
love Habitat Your habitat could be a
simple box, aquarium,
feline provider, or guinea
pig cage. Line it with old towels as well as
coverings (without any loose
strings!) to start, and also after a few weeks make use of straw over newspaper.
Keep in mind: Avoid utilizing only
paper or various other slipper
surface areas-- or your chicks legs can expand
malformed. You likewise require
something to dish out food and also
water in, such as a chicken feeder and water
meal from the feed shop, or a pickle container
lid for food and a family
pet bird water dispenser from an animal store. Additionally, as the chicks age you could introduce a perch
right into the environment to obtain them
trained on setting down. Heat To
keep your chicks warm you should
supply them with a warmth source.
This can be as easy as a 100 watt
light bulb in a reflective clamp design lamp from a
hardware shop, or an infrared reptile heat
light bulb likewise function effectively (my
referral). Chicks require this
heat 24/7 up until their downy fluff is
changed with feathers (which can occupy to two months). The recently
hatched out require a temperature level
in between 90 and also 100 levels,
and every week this could
be minimized by
roughly 5 degrees or
so. The heat source ought
to be on simply one side of the cage
to permit chicks a variety of
temperatures. The chicks are your ideal
thermostat- if they are hiding in the
other corner of your warmth
light, you need to
reduce the temperature. If
they are surrounding each other under the
warmth (not merely snuggling),
you have to add some heat.
Home cleaning
Tidiness is key and it keeps your chicks healthy and
balanced. Make sure to transform
the bed linens
frequently as well as
consistently provide clean
food and water Food as well as water.
Chicks grow very fast
which calls for plenty of clean
food as well as water. Provide
enough whatsoever times as well
as inspect
commonly to
stop parched and also
starving chicks. Chick food is different compared
to grown-up chicken food, and also it comes
in both medicated as well as non-medicated ranges. Feed chick food for the
very first 2 months, then
switch to a raiser food (~ 17 %
protein) for an additional 2 months,
and after that to a somewhat
lower healthy protein feed or a layer feed
(if you have layers). Soil Some chicks like to get a head start on taking
dirt baths, while others won't use up that activity until they are
older. If you have the area in your chick
enclosure, introduce a tray of sand or
dirt for them to wash in.
Attention as well as love There are a couple of advantages to spending quality time with your chicks. Firstly, they will certainly more than likely bond with you and also
not escape as grownups. Second, if you
examine your chicks daily and also
view their actions, you can
capture health problem or various
other issues earlier. Keep an
eye out for wheezing, limping, or
various other undesirable
indications. Be sure to
additionally check out
their poop, as diarrhea can result in matted feathers as well
as stopped up cloaca.
Last but not least, it is important to watch out for social problems, such as the
littlest chick obtaining teased. Empty nest syndrome So your
chicks are currently fully feathered
and its time for them to leave the
safety and security of your residence
as well as relocate outside right into a
coop. Have a look at our
section on chicken cages to find out
more
regarding coops and
correct coop environments.
