My three are in a spare bedroom. We just got them today, they seem to be fine. But I would love expert advise.

This is my incubator I keep my chicks in for the first six weeks so they are fully feathered .....




My favorite incubator is momma no drought

No w goslings on the other hand are a problem as they grow so fast ....
one hour old and one day old also a one week old see how fast they grow

you got it return to the adults as they have more time for this and have the room ......

First chicks are always the most memorable of all but as you are a starter I will give you a little help for your chicks ....

Feed them a hard boiled egg at least three times a week just cook the egg remove the shell and mash up the egg and serve and what they do not finish after 30 minuets remove and toss do not keep for later ..... This will help with their health and feather growth .....



Some of my little ones enjoying their morning egg's ....

Do this for their first twelve weeks and enjoy your chicks ....

Oh these guys are six weeks old when this photo was taken ....

If you have questions just ask someone will help you
