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, ?

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

experience of me. It can be a little frustrating waiting for the chicks

was worth it! How to Care for your new baby chickens in Maydelle,
Texas Baby chicks are really
cute and also
hard to resist,
but it's ideal to plan for their
arrival prior to you get them. Prepare first
by compiling not only the
right materials, but
additionally the proper
expertise to look after
them. Raising baby chicks is fairly
easy, you simply should give them with the following: A tidy as well as cozy
environment A lot of food and water Focus as well as
love Environment Your habitat can be a
simple box, fish tank,
cat provider, or guinea
pig cage. Line it with old towels and also
blankets (without loosened
strings!) to begin, as well as after a
couple of weeks make use of straw over paper.
Keep in mind: Avoid making use of only
newspaper or various other slipper
surface areas-- or your chicks legs can expand
misshapen. You likewise require
something to serve up food as well as
water in, such as a chicken feeder as well as water
dish from the feed shop, or a pickle jar
cover for food as well as a family
pet bird water dispenser from an animal shop. Additionally, as the chicks grow older you could present a perch
into the environment to obtain them
educated on setting down. Heat To
maintain your chicks heat you have to
give them with a warmth source.
This could be as easy as a 100 watt
light bulb in a reflective clamp design lamp from a
hardware store, or an infrared reptile warmth
light bulb additionally work effectively (my
suggestion). Chicks need this
warmth 24/7 up until their downy fluff is
replaced with plumes (which can occupy to two months). The recently
hatched need a temperature level
between 90 and also 100 degrees,
and also every week this can
be decreased by
around 5 degrees or
so. The warmth resource ought
to get on merely one side of the cage
to enable chicks a range of
temperatures. The chicks are your ideal
thermostat- if they are concealing in the
other corner of your heat
lamp, you have to
lower the temperature. If
they are surrounding each other under the
warmth (not merely snuggling),
you have to include some heat.
House cleaning
Sanitation is vital and also it keeps your chicks healthy. Make certain to transform
the bed linen
commonly and also
constantly supply clean
food and water Food and also water.
Chicks expand very quickly
which requires a lot of tidy
food and also water. Supply
enough in any way times and also check
typically to prevent thirsty as well as
starving chicks. Chick food is various compared
to adult chicken food, as well as it can be found in both medicated and non-medicated ranges. Feed chick food for the
first two months, then
switch to a raiser food (~ 17 %
protein) for an additional 2 months,
and afterwards to a somewhat
reduced protein feed or a layer feed
(if you have layers). Dirt Some chicks prefer to get a running start on taking
dirt bathrooms, while others won't use up that activity till they are
older. If you have the area in your chick
enclosure, introduce a tray of sand or
dust for them to wash in.
Interest and love There are a couple of advantages to hanging
out with your chicks. First off, they will more than likely bond with you and also
not flee as grownups. Second, if you
examine your chicks daily and
view their actions, you could
catch health problem or other troubles earlier. Watch out for wheezing, limping, or
various other undesirable
indicators. Make certain to
also check out
their poop, as looseness of the bowels could cause matted feathers as well
as clogged up cloaca.
Finally, it is very
important to look out
for social problems, such as the
tiniest chick getting teased. Vacant nest syndrome So your
chicks are currently completely feathery
and also its time for them to leave the
safety and security of your residence
as well as relocate outside right into a cage. Look into our
area on chicken coops to find out
more
about coops and
appropriate cage environments.
