Isn't this Aeracana baby chick adorable perched on a ceramic pumpkin? She has grown into a beautiful chicken. We are still waiting for that first blue egg from her! Do you remember when I did the back in April? I had so much fun posing those cute little things... I took these pictures back in the Spring when the chicks were just a few days old. I thought I would share them on this gloomy Monday to put a smile on your face ;-)
"I would rather sit on a pumpkin, and have it all to myself, than be crowded on a velvet cushion."
- Henry David Thoreau
This White Rock chick has her leg propped on the pumpkin stem... gave her best profile for the camera... such a sassy little poser. She now thinks she is queen of the chicken yard.
Pssst...I may have gone crazy in those few days posing the baby chickens...
I did Christmas props also ( hehe) Sharing with:

catalog is a yearly traditions in many houses. My kids and I eagerly await
the Murray McMurray Hatchery catalog. We love looking at all the cool and
different chicken breeds available. Catalogs are free so head on over to

Typically hatcheries online offer both standard breeds

that kids especially love collecting. Bantams typically weigh less than 2
pounds when full grown. Just like ordering anything online there are pros
and cons to ordering baby chicks online. Pros of buying baby chicks in

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
Horse Creek Wyoming 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 Horse Creek,
Wyoming Baby chicks are extremely
charming and
hard to stand up to,
however it's best to prepare for their
arrival before you get them. Prepare first
by gathering not just the
right materials, yet
additionally the proper
expertise to look after
them. Raising baby chicks is relatively
simple, you merely need
to offer them with the following: A tidy as well as warm
habitat Lots of food and also water Interest as well as
love Environment Your environment can be an easy box, fish tank,
feline carrier, or guinea
porker cage. Line it with old towels and also
coverings (with no loose
strings!) to begin, and also after a few weeks make use of straw over newspaper.
Keep in mind: Avoid making use of just
paper or other slipper
surface areas-- or your chicks legs can grow
malformed. You also require
something to dish out food and also
water in, such as a chicken feeder and also water
dish from the feed shop, or a pickle jar
cover for food and also an animal bird water dispenser from a pet store. Likewise, as the chicks get
older you can present a perch
into the habitat to get them
trained on setting down. Heat To
maintain your chicks warm you need to
provide them with a warmth resource.
This can be as basic as a 100 watt
light bulb in a reflective clamp style lamp from an equipment store, or an infrared reptile warmth
bulb additionally work effectively (my
referral). Chicks need this
warmth 24/7 till their downy fluff is
replaced with feathers (which could take up to two months). The freshly
hatched out need a temperature level
in between 90 and 100 levels,
as well as each week this could
be decreased by
about 5 levels approximately. The warmth source ought
to be on just one side of the cage
to permit chicks a range of
temperature levels. The chicks are your ideal
thermometer- if they are hiding in the
contrary edge of your warmth
light, you should
lower the temperature level. If
they are surrounding each other under the
heat (not just cuddling),
you need to include some warmth.
Home cleaning
Sanitation is crucial and also it keeps your chicks healthy and
balanced. Make sure to transform
the bed linen
frequently as well as
constantly provide tidy
food and also water Food as well as water.
Chicks expand quite quick
which calls for a lot of tidy
food and water. Provide
sufficient whatsoever times and check
usually to prevent parched and also
starving chicks. Chick food is various than grown-up chicken food, and also it can be found in both medicated and non-medicated selections. Feed chick food for the
initial 2 months, then
switch over to a grower food (~ 17 %
healthy protein) for another 2 months,
and afterwards to a slightly
reduced healthy protein feed or a layer feed
(if you have levels). Soil Some chicks prefer to obtain a running start on taking
filth baths, while others will not use up that task up until they are
older. If you have the room in your chick
unit, introduce a tray of sand or
filth for them to shower in.
Focus as well as love There are a
few advantages to spending quality time with your chicks. First off, they will probably bond with you and
not run away as grownups. Second, if you
examine your chicks daily and also
see their behavior, you can
capture illness or other problems previously. Keep an
eye out for hissing, limping, or
other unhealthy
indicators. Make sure to
additionally consider
their poop, as looseness of the bowels could lead
to matted plumes as well
as clogged cloaca.
Lastly, it is essential to keep an eye out for social concerns, such as the
smallest chick obtaining badgered. Vacant nest disorder So your
chicks are currently completely feathery
as well as its time for them to leave the
safety of your house
and also relocate outside into a cage. Look into our
area on chicken coops to learn more
concerning cages as well as
appropriate cage habitats.
