Intro :) 4 baby chicks

Hello and welcome to BYC!

So sorry for your loss. It's always hard to lose them at any age. Definitely give us some info on your brooder set up in case it's something that can be fixed.

Hello! I’m Hoglord

I am new to chicken keeping though I had chickens briefly as a child and have boarded with a lady who kept chickens so I know the basics. I went to an agricultural high school back in the day and learned all about chickens there too.

I have never raised chicks before though! A week ago I bought 4 day olds all different breeds.

Pekin (now dead)
Lavender Sussex
Polish
Olive egger

So now left with three.
I believe they aren’t the best quality chicks as they hatched early autumn and were all very tiny. I am having lots of issues so far

Anyway, nice to meet you! Hope things get easier!

Did you hatch the chickens yourself? Where are they from?
