Checklist for raising chicks?

[BrucerDucer1]

Hello:
Anyone know of a good check list of things to have before chicks arrive?

Hey BrucerDucer1

While not a check list as such, you might find this link and the previous discussions under 'Incubating Eggs and Raising Chicks' helpful: Topic of the Week

I also recommend checking out the Learning Centre and Articles

Best wishes and good luck!

A suitable brooder (big and safe),
Supplemental heat (heat lamp, Mama Heating Pad, heat plate),
Bedding,
Feeder,
Feed,
Waterer,
A bank loan,
A coop and run ready for them to go into (or you might be brooding them in it...),
Plans for cockerels you can’t keep,
A poultry vets contact details...

I think more can be added on but I’m a bit stumped at the moment...

But most importantly, plenty of research.
