Hi there,
I'm new to keeping chickens and I am currently looking at purchasing 4 x day old chicks.
The breeds I am looking at are:
Golden Laced Wyandotte, Speckled Sussex, Light Sussex
Then either Buff Sussex or New Hampshire
I am currently looking at hiring a brooder to raise them in. Here is the link:
http://citychicks.com.au/products/85/
My questions are:
Is it difficult to raise chicks, should this only be done if you are experienced with chickens ?
If it is possible for beginners to raise chicks, can I still do it if I work full time. Will the chicks be okay by themselves at home during the day ?
Thanks for your help!
Jo.
