    Tractor supply ASIAN chicks

    I bought 3 Asian chicks and they are black with red/brown. I think they're pretty and seem to be pretty friendly so far.

    lizard feeder?

    My son has a leopard gecko and our local pet store has a mealworm feeder that is supposed to not allow them to escape. I don't know how well it works but you could check it out. Is it very hard to breed your own mealworms? It would save us from constantly buying them and crickets.

    Heating lamp

    I worried about my 6 chicks that are 5 weeks old last night and we covered their coop with a blanket, put a blanket in the coop itself and blocked off the entry/exit so they couldn't get outside. Of course when we checked on them this morning, they had escaped into the run and were huddled...

    Incubator vs already hatched

    That sounds like fun! My son is in the 8th grade but I think it will still be a good learning experience for him.

    Incubator vs already hatched

    That's what I was worried about. I purchased ours at our local TSC so no chicks shipped here. I'm seriously thinking about incubating a few though. We homeschool so it would be an awesome learning experience also.

    Incubator vs already hatched

    I was just wondering why some people order eggs and hatch them in an incubator instead of purchasing newly hatched chicks?

    Tractor supply ASIAN chicks

    I purchased 3 Asian chicks from TSC and I think they are beautiful babies. They have a good temperament so far also. Mine are about 5 weeks old and I am going to try and get some pictures of them later today when it's not raining.

    Cold snap during transition outside

    My 5 week olds still have fuzzy butts but mainly feathers everywhere else. It has been ridiculously hot here this spring. It was 90 degrees here today and 67 was the low!

    It sounds like they have it figured out! I'm glad everything is going well for your chicks.

    Spring 2017 first timers post!

    Our chicks are about 5 weeks old now. They have been in their coop for a week now. I love to go outside and sit and watch them. They are so funny! I have 3 Asians and 3 brown ones but I don't remember the name. We purchased them at TSC and I can't wait to start collecting eggs.

    Cold snap during transition outside

    I think they will be fine. My 4 week old chicks were put out in their coop and we had a cold snap within a couple of days. I made them a huddle box, just a cardboard box with a hole large enough for them to fit through then put some pine shavings in, and they did awesome.
