the original rooster from last summer, about half of them were lost to a virus but the new ones have been vaccinated and will be healthy.
Last summer, one of the projects for the Children’s Rescue Center in Maili Saba was to buy chickens. This meant also having a chicken coop built and fencing off an area to keep the chickens out of the garden. The plan was to eventually have enough chickens that each of the twenty children in the orphanage would have two eggs a day, one to eat and one to sell. When we went to Kitale over Christmas, many of the chickens had died from a virus so Paul again bought new ones to replace them.
they have a big chicken coop but are also let out to roam around the yard.~
these are a few of the new chickens, when you buy them you can specify hens and they are usually pretty accurate
When we were running races in the play yard, I heard the chickens squawking and wondered about them. Someone told me they were getting vaccinated, this will take care of the problem and keep them healthy.
this rooster liked the dinning room, he was determined and came back in every time he was asked to leave
The rooster at the orphanage was in the dinning room with a black hen all one afternoon. She was trying to find a good place to lay an egg and I tried to shoo her out of several rooms. Some of the little girls said she had been laying eggs in their room. They can raise some baby chicks, then keep the hens and use the young roosters for food. I like chickens, we have had them in our family for several years, only for pets and the eggs. They will die of old age, no one is ever going to have them for dinner.

Baby Chicks
Raising in
Disney, Oklahoma
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
Disney Oklahoma 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 Disney,
Oklahoma Baby chicks are extremely
adorable as well as
difficult to stand up to,
however it's finest to prepare for their
arrival prior to you get them. Prepare initially
by gathering not just the
proper materials, but
also the correct
expertise to care for
them. Raising baby chicks is relatively
simple, you just should give them with the following: A tidy and also warm and comfortable
habitat A lot of food as well
as water Attention as well as
love Environment Your habitat can be an easy box, aquarium,
feline provider, or guinea
pig cage. Line it with old towels as well as
coverings (without loose
strings!) to start, as well as after a few weeks make use of straw over newspaper.
Keep in mind: Avoid using just
newspaper or other slipper
surface areas-- or your chicks legs can expand
malformed. You likewise need
something to dish out food and
water in, such as a chicken feeder and also water
recipe from the feed shop, or a pickle container
lid for food and also a family
pet bird water dispenser from a family pet shop. Also, as the chicks age you could present a perch
right into the environment to obtain them
educated on perching. Heat To
maintain your chicks heat you need to
give them with a warmth source.
This can be as straightforward as a 100 watt
light bulb in a reflective clamp style light from an equipment shop, or an infrared reptile heat
bulb additionally work extremely well (my
referral). Chicks need this
warmth 24/7 till their downy fluff is
replaced with plumes (which can use
up to 2 months). The newly
hatched need a temperature
between 90 and 100 degrees,
and also weekly this could
be lowered by
approximately 5 levels approximately. The heat source ought
to be on just one side of the cage
to allow chicks a variety of
temperature levels. The chicks are your best
thermostat- if they are concealing in the
contrary edge of your warmth
light, you have to
decrease the temperature. If
they are smothering each other under the
heat (not just cuddling),
you need to include some warmth.
Home cleaning
Tidiness is vital and also it keeps your chicks healthy and
balanced. Make sure to alter
the bedding
frequently and
consistently supply clean
food and also water Food and water.
Chicks expand extremely quick
which calls for plenty of clean
food and water. Give
enough at all times and also check
commonly to prevent dehydrated and
starving chicks. Chick food is various compared
to grown-up chicken food, and it is available in both medicated as well as non-medicated varieties. Feed chick food for the
first two months, then
switch over to a grower food (~ 17 %
healthy protein) for another 2 months,
and after that to a somewhat
lower protein feed or a level feed
(if you have levels). Soil Some chicks like to obtain a head start on taking
dust bathrooms, while others won't occupy that task up until they are
older. If you have the room in your chick
room, present a tray of sand or
dirt for them to wash in.
Interest and love There are a couple of advantages to spending quality time with your chicks. To start
with, they will more than likely bond with you as well as
not flee as grownups. Second, if you
analyze your chicks daily and also
view their behavior, you can
capture ailment or other problems previously. Watch out for wheezing, hopping, or
other harmful
indicators. Be sure to
also look at
their poop, as diarrhea could bring about matted plumes and stopped up cloaca.
Last but not least, it is important to look out
for social issues, such as the
tiniest chick getting badgered. Vacant nest disorder So your
chicks are now completely feathery
as well as its time for them to leave the
safety and security of your house
and relocate outside right into a cage. Take a look at our
part on chicken coops to get more information
regarding cages and
correct coop environments.
