So you think maybe a weeks time would be better than a couple days?

Hello everyone! Quick question. I have a shipment of chicks coming in next week, and I wanted to get some bantam chicks this year too. My plan was to go to Tractor Supply and pick a couple up, but I'm worried about the little ones getting picked on by the bigger standard chicks. Would it be a...

I couldn't tell you, but they sure are beautiful!!!

It's hard to see, what color are the feet?

I recommend chick starter until 8 weeks, then grower until you see the first egg, then put them on layers food.

I went to open the shell last night after posting this and the little chick was dead. :( I think it shrink wrapped. :(

Anyone?

I think 7 but there not pipped. So they will be fine.

I have a pipped chick, well its more of a started zip chick, and it pipped I between 2 last night and 6 this morning, the pip is in the middle of the egg. Once it started to zip, there was blood where it was zipping and it looked like it was struggling. But I thought it was just a slow hatcher...

I hatched out three beautiful babies. I feel as this is good for my first time. The packaging was excellent. Thanks again for the wonderful eggs!!!!

Is she dry and are any other eggs pipped/zipped?

Very normal. Chicks sleep on their bellies, on their backs, legs in the air, legs out to the side, standing up, sitting down, anyway you can think of a chick will try and sleep that way :)

Sorry to hear about your son. I hope he gets better quick :)
