Bantam chicks what to do??

[booklover]

Do bantam chicks require special bedding, and what should I do for waterers and feeders???? I've got chicks coming and don't know what to do!

Have you raised chicks before? Treat the bantam chicks the same way. They are chickens - just a bit smaller.

Some do, if they fall asleep there. And this goes for any and all breeds.

Put blocks under the waterers and should be fine.
