0 to 5 chicks in 1 day!

[jshaddix88]

Hello from Florida. I am new to raising chickens. I was going to only get 2 but found myself with 5 little cluckers instead. They range in ages..which I am finding can be a bit stressful trying to introduce them to each other but still enjoy watching the different personalities intermingle. Before I got the chicks I read a lot of the information from this website and found it helpful. I look forward to watching the chicks grow and sharing stories about them as well as hopefully offering some sort of help....if that day ever comes!

Welcome to BYC!

Congrats on all the new flock! Make sure all these birds are all basically the same size so they can all defend themselves. If any of them are a lot smaller, you may need to introduce them later. But because all these birds are new, they should mix well enough. Just keep an eye on them for this first week to make sure there is not too much aggression. And always intervene if it turns bloody.

If you have any questions, that is what we are here for. Welcome to our flock!
