Even though I've raised several baby chicks, this article was a great reminder for all of the little things one can forget that can have a big impact! Thanks!
While reading this I remembered I need to change the bedding in the brooder because the waterer leaked last night. I don’t need the chicks getting sick from something that is easily prevented.
I found this quite helpful in getting the basics down for chick care. A lot of it is common sense, but when raising chickens for the first time mistakes are bound to happen, and a quick go-to list of the essentials is great.
A lot of times I find myself overwhelmed with too much information, and I get paralyzed with indecision. This is just the right amount of information to get started.
I raised 13 in my office and the feather dust was in my computer, clothes in my closet and everywhere. I Would like to have planned that part better next time, but I would do it all over again. They all turned out healthy with no drafts and a steady temperature with being in the house. They are very tame lap chickens from seeing me and hearing my voice from all the hours I spent in my office with them.
