Baby Chick Pictures!!!!! POST!

for begginners, I would start with the silkies because they are easy to handle, people love them, and they are very sweet. Also, roosters dont fight real bad when put together. Polish should be for the more experienced because you have to take care of their crests and they are prone to mights worse than others. Sl wyandottes are also good birds to start with, but without much work, they are pretty skittish. Because they dont have all the fancy features of some fancy breeds, and are more like production birds, they are less prone to mites and keep themselves very clean.though, this varies on the environment they live in.

This is true about the crest and we had two birds that had a difficult time seeing until I had no choice but to trim away from their eyes. Because it was my first time
I took one to another chicken friend that raises polish and had her guide me while I did the work. We spend more then an hour every evening in the chicken pin with
all our birds and I look over the crests about every other day. I also dust with DE about once a week making sure I get to the skin of the bird it isn't fun for them but they forgive me with
a little treat. It all depends on how much time you want to put into your flock and with me I put time in I don't even realize until someone points it out.
Silkies are beautiful birds.
Great advice here from poultryqueen

I just received 100 broiler chicks! For meat though but that doesn't mean that they are not cute...

I saved the baby from a broody mama that decided to stop being broody. Let's see if the other chicks make it. I'm not sure how long it was when she stopped sitting on the eggs.
Glad I had an incubator handy!!
I think it's a silkie mix

hen sat on this egg 3 days, then I noticed a crack, I put it in incubator to keep safe now on day 8 calling it Nemo. the crack is in air cell section. I dry hatch usually, but adding a bit of water to make up for crack.
