Dj.....Welcome, how old are your chicks?? What breeds?? If they are just a few days old....there really isnt much you can "do with them" other than hold them and pet them. When they are about 3 weeks old....let them in the yard dureing the day, and if you can get some meal worms, or B Moths( the kind people fish with) you can offer them to the babies in moderation, for treats. Let them get them right out of your hands....they will follow you around the yard like puppies! Too fun! Mine are 3 weeks old now, and they have a small ladder in thier brooder box...they climb to get a treat from me. Its fun to watch them hop op there, and fight for the best position. Have fun...and enjoy your peeps!
