chick owner by accident

post #1 of 15
Thread Starter 

Hello, although I have always wanted chickens, I didn't think I was quite ready but divine intervention had other ideas.  I have 2 chicks about a week or so old from our kindergarten class at school.  I want to take the best care I can but I don't anything about chickens.  I would love to relate what I am doing with them and definitely want advice.  Thank you.

It's the shape that makes the breed, and the color that makes the variety.

Hello and welcome-byc.gif
Firs off, good luck with your chicks! We're here to help you whenenver you need it, don't be shy about asking questions! Raising baby chicks would be a good place for you to post.
Do you have a brooder for them, feed and water, and heat? If so, you've pretty much got the essentials down and they should be okay to go.
See you round! frow.gif

I am crazy about a lot of things. Chickens, reading, writing stories, and most importantly my King, Jesus. :D
