raising baby chicks

[saminthefarm23]

i have an incubator box for my baby chicks it’s meant for my eggs but the mom already killed 2 so i took these in and put them in my incubator so they can be warm and i also have a cardboard box they have food,water,and fresh flakes to walk on but i was wondering many times throughout the day should i take them out the incubator for feeding ? or should i buy something else instead of the incubator?

You do realize baby chicks double in size each week. You'd best be getting them a proper brooder. Unless it's winter where you live, baby chicks are ready to start spending part of the day outdoors at two weeks, and they are ready for a coop at five weeks.

Are you ready?

I assume you're raising these now?

Baby chicks should have food/water available to them 24/7.

You can make a brooder with a cardboard box or big tub, and a heat source like heating pad that doesn't shut off, heat plate, heat lamp, etc.

Here is a very helpful article by @TwoCrows that will help you know what you need to do.
