Why wouldn't you feed them starter, grower or an all-flock feed depending on where you are located? Or if you do not have predator issues, free range?I guess I still don't know what I can feed them.
Thank you, I am a very new chicken owner. I still have not mastered how to pick them up. I think we are both scared.. Can I feed them red seedless grapes?

They'll hatch on their own, which may take a full 24 hours! Make sure you've got chick feed (do NOT feed newly hatched chicks layer feed) and prepare to expand your coop and run, you'll need probably more space when those little guys are ready to join the flock!I was given these 7 bantam chickens 3 roosters and 4 hens.My boyfriend built me a coop and it has a box inside that will hold 3-4 hens. The roosters sleep on top of the box. I get 4 eggs a day. 1 hen and 1 rooster are speckled (probably a pair) the other 3 hens are reddish brown they are all very nice and they are always happy to see me. I get bait worms that I give them once a week. I give them zuchinni, squash,watermelon, tomatoes,red grapes, necterines and leaves from my necterine trees.They also get poultry layer crumble and scratch grains. I bought a bag of oyster shell that I was going to mix with the layer feed and scratch grain.
This is my first run with chickens. I got an incubator from Miller Mfg (little giant) I took 4 eggs and today is the 20 day I already have a chick that has started to pip and I hear him chirping every so often. the other 3 nothing yet. I will be patient. that one chick is really chirping now as I sit here and type to you.
So do you think I am doing ok and is there any tips for me at this time?
