Hi Hannah and welcome to BYC We're so happy you've decided to join us

We definitely need to know more to understand your desires. @The Phantom invite some of the others to this thread to give Hannah Ideas on selling Dad. But then again, I think everyone should have chickens in their back yard.

Hello, Hannah, and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
Why do you want to raise just one chick and then give it to your grandmother? Does your grandmother have chickens?
As has been mentioned multiple times, chickens must be kept in flocks to be truly happy so just raising a lone chick is not a good idea at all and not very fair to the poor chick. Maybe if we find out why you want to raise a chick and give it to your grandmother, we can help find a more reasonable alternative!

Thank u for your input. My grandma does have two chickens and she might want two more so I'm most likely getting a pair. I've looked into it and it will be in a large dog kennel/cage.that way it has room. I will also bring it outside regularly. I'm planning on getting silkies. Also I am looking into diapers for the indoor portion of their lives. My dad is also almost convinced 100%!!!!!!!

Read into silkies first, they are a lot of care and can develop problems, if you want them for eggs then they aren't a great choice, if you want them because they are cute, or fluffy, just remember chickens aren't trophies and if you want something more sturdy you should look into different breeds. good luck!

Many people want silkie pullets/hens because they tend to be excellent broody mothers.
