Hello, glad to join.
I've got 3 days old awesome chicks

Hello and Welcome to BYC and Glad to have You here in this Poultry Loving Community. Those look really crowded. Are they free to spread out any at all? Do you have a brooder for them? Are these your first chicks? Anything in particular we can do to help?

 

[AnnaEva]

Thanks. This is like a new discovery for me. I haven’t raised chickens for several years, and now I can’t get away from them) The break did the trick

 

[LTAY1946]

What breed are those little bundles of joy?

 

[AnnaEva]

Broilers.

Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.

How large is your brooder? It will need to be quite large to contain all those broilers until they are ready to be processed. They are very crowded in that box. You need at least 2 sq ft per chick for the first 3 weeks for birds that grow as fast as they do. Then you'd want them to have 4 sq ft per bird from 3 weeks to harvest.
