Here is the bin the baby chicks live in until they are about 5-6 weeks old.
Adolescent Chicken Home
As you can see they are quite a bit bigger than the babies. These are around 7 weeks old. They just have a kiddie pool with metal fencing around it and they are in the garage. They no longer need a light.
Back of the Coop
This is the back of the coop. The building on the right is the coop and the building on the left is a play area and where their water is. They also have some outdoor area as you can see by the fenced in area.
Inside of the Coop
Definitely nothing special, but they have their food and a two story coop. The top area has their nesting boxes.
Looking into the Play Area
They spend most of their time in here when it is raining and windy. Their water is in here and a hanging roost that they don't seem to like.
Inside the Play Area
This is the inside of the previous picture. They have a decent amount of room about 8x12 in here and their water is a hanging water to the right of the picture.

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
Chappell Hill Texas 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 Chappell Hill,
Texas Baby chicks are extremely
adorable and also
tough to withstand,
however it's ideal to prepare for their
arrival prior to you obtain them. Prepare initially
by compiling not only the
correct products, however
also the proper
expertise to take care of
them. Raising baby chicks is relatively
simple, you simply have to supply them with the following: A
clean as well as cozy
habitat A lot of food and also water Focus as well as
love Habitat Your environment can be a
simple box, fish tank,
cat provider, or guinea
porker cage. Line it with old towels and
coverings (with no loosened
strings!) to begin, and after a
couple of weeks use straw over paper.
Keep in mind: Avoid utilizing only
paper or other slipper
surfaces-- or your chicks legs could grow
malformed. You additionally require
something to provide food and also
water in, such as a chicken feeder as well as water
recipe from the feed shop, or a pickle container
cover for food as well as a family
pet bird water dispenser from a family pet shop. Additionally, as the chicks age you could introduce a perch
right into the habitat to get them
trained on perching. Warmth To
maintain your chicks warm you need to
give them with a warmth resource.
This could be as straightforward as a 100 watt
light bulb in a reflective clamp design light from a
hardware store, or an infrared reptile heat
light bulb likewise work extremely well (my
referral). Chicks require this
heat 24/7 until their downy fluff is
replaced with feathers (which could occupy to 2 months). The newly
hatched out require a temperature
in between 90 and also 100 levels,
and each week this can
be minimized by
approximately 5 levels approximately. The heat resource need to get on simply one side of the cage
to enable chicks an array of
temperature levels. The chicks are your finest
thermostat- if they are concealing in the
other edge of your warmth
light, you have to
reduce the temperature. If
they are smothering each various other under the
heat (not simply curling up),
you need to put some warmth.
Home cleaning
Cleanliness is crucial and also it maintains your chicks healthy. Make certain to alter
the bed linen
commonly and
consistently give tidy
food and water Food and also water.
Chicks expand really quick
which calls for a lot of tidy
food and also water. Provide
enough in any way times and also check
often to prevent parched and also
hungry chicks. Chick food is various than adult chicken food, and it can be found in both medicated and
also non-medicated varieties. Feed chick food for the
initial 2 months, then
change to a grower food (~ 17 %
healthy protein) for one more 2 months,
and after that to a somewhat
reduced healthy protein feed or a layer feed
(if you have layers). Dirt Some chicks prefer to obtain a running start on taking
filth baths, while others will not occupy that activity up until they are
older. If you have the space in your chick
room, introduce a tray of sand or
dirt for them to shower in.
Focus as well as love There are a couple of benefits to hanging
out with your chicks. Firstly, they will more than likely bond with you and
not escape as adults. Second, if you
analyze your chicks daily as well as
watch their behavior, you can
catch illness or other problems previously. Keep an
eye out for wheezing, limping, or
various other harmful
indications. Be sure to
likewise consider
their poop, as diarrhea can lead
to matted plumes as well
as stopped up cloaca.
Finally, it is important to look out
for social problems, such as the
smallest chick getting picked
on. Vacant nest disorder So your
chicks are currently totally feathered
as well as its time for them to leave the
security of your home
and also relocate outside right into a
coop. Take a look at our
section on chicken coops to read more
regarding cages and also
correct cage environments.
