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
Charlotte Tennessee 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 Charlotte,
Tennessee Baby chicks are extremely
adorable and also
difficult to withstand,
but it's finest to prepare for their
arrival before you obtain them. Prepare initially
by gathering not just the
right products, yet
additionally the correct
knowledge to care for
them. Raising baby chicks is reasonably
basic, you merely should offer them with the following: A tidy as well as warm and comfortable
environment Plenty of food and also water Interest as well as
love Environment Your habitat could be a basic box, fish tank,
cat service provider, or guinea
pig cage. Line it with old towels and also
blankets (without loose
strings!) to start, as well as after a few weeks utilize straw over paper.
Keep in mind: Avoid making use of just
newspaper or other sandal
surfaces-- or your chicks legs could grow
misshapen. You likewise require
something to dish out food and
water in, such as a chicken feeder and also water
meal from the feed shop, or a pickle container
cover for food and also an animal bird water dispenser from a
pet dog store. Also, as the chicks get
older you could present a perch
into the environment to get them
trained on setting down. Heat To
keep your chicks warm you need to
offer them with a warmth resource.
This can be as straightforward as a 100 watt
light bulb in a reflective clamp design light from an equipment shop, or an infrared reptile heat
bulb additionally work effectively (my
referral). Chicks require this
warmth 24/7 up until their downy fluff is
changed with plumes (which could take up to two months). The recently
hatched require a temperature level
in between 90 as well as 100 levels,
and also weekly this could
be reduced by
approximately 5 levels approximately. The warmth source ought
to get on simply one side of the cage
to allow chicks a range of
temperature levels. The chicks are your finest
thermometer- if they are hiding in the
other corner of your heat
lamp, you should
minimize the temperature level. If
they are smothering each other under the
heat (not simply snuggling),
you need to put some heat.
Home cleaning
Tidiness is key and also it keeps your chicks healthy. Make certain to alter
the bed linen
commonly as well as
consistently give clean
food as well as water Food and also water.
Chicks expand very quick
which requires plenty of tidy
food as well as water. Provide
sufficient in any way times as well
as check
usually to avoid thirsty and
hungry chicks. Chick food is various than adult chicken food, as well as it can be found in both medicated as well as non-medicated varieties. Feed chick food for the
first 2 months, then
switch over to a grower food (~ 17 %
healthy protein) for another 2 months,
and then to a slightly
reduced healthy protein feed or a layer feed
(if you have levels). Soil Some chicks prefer to get a running start on taking
dust bathrooms, while others will not take
up that task till they are
older. If you have the room in your chick
room, introduce a tray of sand or
dust for them to bathe in.
Attention and also love There are a couple of benefits to spending time with your chicks. First of all, they will probably bond with you and
not flee as grownups. Second, if you
analyze your chicks daily and also
view their behavior, you could
catch ailment or various
other problems previously. Keep an
eye out for hissing, hopping, or
various other undesirable
indications. Make sure to
likewise consider
their poop, as diarrhea can result in matted plumes and obstructed cloaca.
Finally, it is essential to watch out for social issues, such as the
littlest chick getting teased. Empty nest syndrome So your
chicks are currently completely feathery
and also its time for them to leave the
safety of your residence
as well as move outside into a
coop. Look into our
area on chicken cages to find out
more
concerning cages as well as
proper cage habitats.
