I'm a vegetarian and recently I watched a video showing how certain supermarket chains treat the animals they farm (specifically chicks). Or at least how an extension of them treats them very badly. For the sake of profit. Broke my heart. Can't eat eggs anymore. Until I farm them just like this. How much care and consideration; it was a pleasure to watch.

Thank you so much my parents say im not responsible so i made a deal to raise a baby chick by myself since baby chicks had already hatched in our back yard. Thank you for these tips! ❤

My Dad bought chicks every year at Easter. I took care of the chicks. My Dad built a coop outside that had a cover on it. It was a stationary coop. After they got out there dad cleaned and put new straw out and meal worms and I fed them sratche food and oyster shells when they were able to start laying. I loved that job. My first school skirts were Chicken Feed sacks, they used to use material for the bags of feed.

I always wanted to raise colorful chicks in my childhood but no one let me cuz they die so quickly and today I bought my younger sister 4 chicks and she is so happy!! Watching this video so I could help my sis to raise those

Oh i remember when we dropped a little chick as kids, we were so heartbroken but my grandma ended up saving the little guy!

It also helps if you put place a cardboard or two under your food and waterer to avoid food and bedding from getting into them. My grandma and grandpa had a regular brooder house for all the chicks when they first came (in Wisconsin) with a door that opened to the outside where they had put up snow fence to allow the chicks outside when old enough, but too young to join the regular flock. I used large marbles in my waterers to keep the little one from drowning. Have had chickens, guineas, turkeys, ducks, geese and even a 1993 Great Flood Rescue pair of Pheasants from a family in the Mo Bottoms area between the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers. The kids were in 4-H back then and my son had the Grand Champion Market Bird Champion that year! Been involved with the birds since I was 1.5 years old with my Grandma and still have them today 66 years later!
