New Chick on the Block

Hello all. I am new to chickening. I'm excited and in love with my 3 week old babies. Any advice, tips or tricks would be greatly appreciated!

Hi and welcome to BYC from northern Michigan

The Learning Center is a great place to start

 

[Missy35]

Thank you. I will find it. I'm trying to get use to the site. I'm in southern North Carolina. We are building a coop tomorrow so I have have been looking at all the wonderful pics on here. It's truly an awesome website!

Alright

great to have you joining the BYC flock

X 2 on BYC's very useful learning center

Chicks nee plenty of clean water and high protein feed of 20% or
better and Turkey grow has this

If you haven't already give your chicks some hard boiled egg's
and watch them munch it down but first peel and mash the egg
then serve the egg had all the natural ingenerates for a strong
body and long life ....

Welcome to BYC!

Learning to navigate BYC can be difficult at first. Took me months to figure out how to get to my profile!! LOL

Here is the link to the learning center for lots of great articles on all the aspects of keeping poultry...

Hello and Welcome To BYC! Good luck with your new chicks! X5 on the Learning Center as a great place to find information. If you are just feeding egg you really don't need to add grit just for that, but it won't hurt, and if you feed them about anything else you should, here is a nice thread with a lot of discussion on what people have tried for chick treats https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/181429/good-treats-for-baby-chicks and for older birds, don't forget the Chicken Treat chart https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/chicken-treat-chart-the-best-treats-for-backyard-chickens
