Brand new babies

[ollie21830]

Hi I'm brand new with raising chickens. I have 6 speckled Sussex. They are just over 2 weeks old. I'm so in love with them. I am hoping you all will help me keep them healthy and more importantly happy. Happy April

Greetings from Kansas, ollie21830, and

! Happy you entered the chicken universe and joined our community! The first and best place to stop is the Learning Center link below. It will tell you, from chick to adult, the care and maintenance requirements of chickens.

And with the chicks you can visit the Baby Chicks forum. Ask questions but also read the old threads for lots of useful info.

Finally, (and you got a little time for this one) study up on coop designs and styles.

Have fun and enjoy the ride!!
