how easy is it to take care of chicks

[Firtle]

I don't have any chickens and i'm trying to see how they would fit in my work schedule. Just wondering on a scale of 1 to 100 w/ 100 being hardest and 1 being easy how they are taking care of. THX!

Meh. Sometimes... 10.... Other times, 80.

I've had batches that all I had to do was feed and water them. Other batches, I've had to treat curled toes and spraddle legs. Along with prolapse and everything in between...

It just depends.

There can be no ranking of how hard it is. It all depends on many factors. The more chicks you get, the harder it is to maintain them.

Can't predict. Situations do happen. Luckily I haven't had any problems but then again I haven't raised a lot like some of people on here. Good luck

I'd rate it about a 10.

Way easier than horses.

Small amount of attention EVERY day.
