Feeding and Names?

[MelissaMija]

Hello, Here from Edgewood,
I have 15 baby chicks, I went for 10 and came back with 15 hehe, they are so adorable. Well I would like some help please on how offen do I feed them? They are 12 days old, and they are Black Astrolorps and Jersey Giants.
Thank you for your help!

First off, congratulations on the new babies! It's always exciting to raise chicks and watch them grow. What I always did with my chicks was to keep a feeder out at all times, and when it was empty, I refilled it. I'm not sure what other poultry owners would do, but my chickens and ducks have grown to be healthy laying adults.

Thank you! I fill up there feeder half way and it seems to not be enough, I will start filling it all the way, thank you

You're very welcome! I am so sorry for the late reply.....things have been extremely busy around here.

Hope the feeding method works for you.

I'd love to see pics! For food, I do what @Alexandra33 does.

For names, I always like to go off a TV show or theme. Right now my girls don't have any theme but I'm wishing I named them all after characters on Grey's Anatomy cause I call my rooster McDreamy lol (His real name is Daryl from the walking dead though).

My chickens are as follows:
Betty Lou
Elsa
Pepper
Tater
Tot
April
Dixie Chick
Daisy
Henrietta
Martha Stewart
Vivica (Vivie for short)
Daryl

I also had two chicks that didn't make it: Penny & Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Here's some suggestions for themes:
The Walking Dead
Grey's Anatomy
The Lion King
Disney Princesses (& Princes)
Fly Away Home (a movie about geese their names are Igor, Stinky, Long John, Featherbrain, Fluffy and Gruffy)
Kings & Queens

That's all I got. Hope I helped.

Those are great names, I have a hedgehog named Daryl, the walking dead is my favorite. I like the Disney princesses. I think that would go cute, however I have a few escape artist's. They are now 22 days old.
