Im getting a Bantam Red Silkie

[DeeThomas]

I am going to incubate 3 Bantam Red Silkie eggs from mypetchicken.com!

What do I need to know about hatching/raising chickens?

 

[nzpouter]

chick food, and a warm brooder for 6 weeks at least.

Don't forget lots of

and care.

Also bantams are fragile as new chicks

but other than that they aren't hard to take care of.
Just to warn you I have read on the forum there is a disease going around and it is called fuzzybutt syndrome

and it is almost impossable not to catch
