Would some of you really great chicken lovers please give me a list of what I need to get prior to going and picking up some new baby chicks?
What food, when I need to switch to another food source (age) that is of chick?
Water of course and should it always be luke warm?
Bedding for chicks a couple days old? Is pine shavings okay this young?
Light? What sort of bulb is best? regular light bulb, heat bulb etc?
Any other type of food or rock crunchy stuff?
I guess the best way to ask this is at what ages does one switch up the food or add new things the chicks need?
Please give me a list of what is needed up to the point where they can safely go into the coop.
Thanks
Dilly
