new bantam D'ulcce chicks

[bigdave]

these hatched Friday morning. I had a total of 5 eggs in the incubator. 4 hatched 1 didn't make it. one of these chicks cant stand and her/his head bobs alot not sure if that one will make it. but im gonna try to keep it alive as long as i can. also i have a question
on when do they start eating and drinking on their own. thanx and ill have more pics next week of those new chicks.

They can begin eating and drinking right away. Also I would pick up some pine shavings for them, otherwise it's tricky for them to walk in a glass tank like that. I put paper towels over my shavings for the first few days so they learn where the food is and don't eat the shavings. At the feed store they have smaller feeders/waterers for chicks so I would pick up one of those. They're adorable!

i do have the feeder and waterer. yes they walk better on something they can grip with their feet. i now have a porous paper down they can walk on and they are all eating and drinking on thier own god bless mother nature. thank you all

btw it took them a day to eat and drink i had to shove their noses in it a few times but they got it
