Caring for Your New Chicks
New chicks need steady warmth and comfort — keep them under a heat lamp until they’re fully feathered.
Make sure their brooder stays dry, draft-free, and stocked with clean water and chick starter feed.
If you’re new to raising chicks, we’re happy to help you get started — just ask when you join the wait list.
