To all new chicken owners: Baby chicks also need SUNLIGHT! You can keep chicks on a dark shelf, in a plastic tub in your barn, or in your bathroom...(not a good idea!)
But chicks that are "eggsposed" to a bit of early morning or late afternoon sunlight will be stronger and healthier
(In a wire floor birdcage under 8 weeks old! This is the best type of brooder for chicks)
About Shopping for Chickens
ARE YOU JUST GETTING STARTED? OR SHOPPING FOR POULTRY?
Use caution when shopping for chickens now as there are many new and just-starting chicken hobbyists. There is a HUGE chicken boom as there are financial changes ahead and our economy is changing. So, basically, anyone with an incubator, and a few fertile eggs who watch Youtube videos are likely to become self-proclaimed "experts" Be sure to purchase chickens from people that you trust and beware of many online "baby chicks" scams selling poultry. Most hatcheries are sold out for many months!
BEST OF CARE
USE PROPER HEATING AND LIGHTING SAFELY
Baby chicks need warm light, about 90 degrees to 95 degrees for the first few weeks, then lower the temperature as the chicks begin to grow their feathers
Remember to place the light where the chicks can reach a cooler place. Too much light may overheat the chicks. Also, chicks need shade to regulate their internal temperature.
Be sure to use diatomateous earth powder to prevent lice and mites
When using the warm light around baby chicks, many small bugs (invisible to you) will be attracted to the warm lights and live in your chick's bedding.
The bugs will begin to bite chicks and this will strain the newly hatched chick's young bodies and make them weak or worse.
Many times natural wood shavings have trillions of bugs to start with from day one, as does hay and some other materials.
It's important to know that sometimes when people believe their chicks to be sick, it's really INVISIBLE mites or lice infestation that is the problem.
Use a dry high alkaline bedding that will not have bugs
(Most bugs are attracted to LIGHT and HEAT) Mites are invisible to your eyes! but they feed on baby chicks' blood for their food, they are parasites.
Many times people have a difficult time raising chicks and think that the chicks are "sick" the chicks are FINE
When It's the bedding that is the real problem, making them sick or worse-
