I just had to share some pictures of our newest babies. They are black sexlinks and one golden sexlink. They are sooo cute. We just got them yesterday, but they are 10 days old. Since it has done nothing but rain, 2.75 inches between yesterday and today, they are safe and dry in the garage. When everything dries out they will go to the outdoor brooder.
I’ll post more pictures as time goes.

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
Quinault Washington 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 Quinault,
Washington Baby chicks are very
cute and also
tough to withstand,
but it's ideal to plan for their
arrival before you get them. Prepare first
by collecting not just the
appropriate products, however
likewise the appropriate
expertise to care for
them. Raising baby chicks is fairly
straightforward, you just have to offer them with the following: A
clean as well as warm and comfortable
environment Plenty of food as well
as water Attention and
love Habitat Your environment could be a
simple box, fish tank,
feline carrier, or guinea
porker cage. Line it with old towels as well as
blankets (without loose
strings!) to start, and after a
couple of weeks utilize straw over paper.
Note: Avoid utilizing just
newspaper or various other sandal
surface areas-- or your chicks legs can expand
misshapen. You also need
something to provide food and also
water in, such as a chicken feeder as well as water
dish from the feed shop, or a pickle jar
cover for food and also an animal bird water dispenser from a family pet shop. Also, as the chicks grow older you can introduce a perch
into the environment to obtain them
trained on setting down. Heat To
maintain your chicks warm you need to
offer them with a heat resource.
This could be as simple as a 100 watt
light bulb in a reflective clamp design lamp from a
hardware shop, or an infrared reptile heat
light bulb also work extremely well (my
recommendation). Chicks need this
warmth 24/7 till their downy fluff is
changed with plumes (which can take up to two months). The recently
hatched out require a temperature
in between 90 and also 100 degrees,
and also each week this can
be minimized by
about 5 degrees or
so. The warmth source should get on merely 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 edge of your heat
lamp, you need to
lower the temperature. If
they are surrounding each other under the
heat (not just snuggling),
you should put some warmth.
Housekeeping
Sanitation is essential and it keeps your chicks healthy. Make certain to alter
the bed linens
usually as well as
consistently supply clean
food and also water Food and also water.
Chicks expand quite quickly
which requires lots of tidy
food and also water. Give
enough in any way times and examine
usually to avoid thirsty and
hungry chicks. Chick food is various compared
to adult chicken food, and also it can be found in both medicated and non-medicated selections. Feed chick food for the
first 2 months, then
switch to a raiser food (~ 17 %
healthy protein) for an additional 2 months,
and afterwards to a somewhat
reduced healthy protein feed or a layer feed
(if you have levels). Dirt Some chicks like to obtain a head start on taking
dirt baths, while others won't take
up that activity up until they are
older. If you have the area in your chick
enclosure, introduce a tray of sand or
dirt for them to shower in.
Attention as well as love There are a couple of advantages to spending time with your chicks. First off, they will certainly probably bond with you as well as
not flee as adults. Second, if you
examine your chicks daily and
watch their actions, you could
catch health problem or other problems previously. Keep an
eye out for wheezing, hopping, or
other undesirable
indicators. Make sure to
likewise look at
their poop, as diarrhea can cause matted feathers and also clogged up cloaca.
Last but not least, it is important to watch out for social concerns, such as the
tiniest chick getting picked
on. Vacant nest syndrome So your
chicks are currently fully feathered
as well as its time for them to leave the
safety of your home
as well as move outside into a cage. Have a look at our
part on chicken coops to learn more
concerning coops and also
correct cage environments.
