Awesome...glad to help...please share the video with your facebook friends or like minded folks!
Where did you get them
Wait till 5 weeks you will be raising feed and water to about 1/2" head level..
Me to im getting 10 meat birds
Ooh i have already six baby chicks and learning how to raise them properly
My kids school is sending home 2 baby chicks with my daughters. I live smack dab in the middle of the city and have no idea what I'm doing. Thanks for this tutorial!
Look up chicken dippers,its realy a thing
Boo Bear diapers
That’s how my family started having chickens. One day, my older sister brought home some chicks from daycare when I was two, we’ve have them continuously now for over 10 years. Although I live in a quite rural area, so it’s not quite the same situation as you.
@@laurenc3447 you need 2,look up how to take of them,1 would be lonely
Lauren Ciccotta lets hope so! I’m really enjoying watching them grow into their individual personalities 🥰👍
my parents decided to get chickens all of a sudden, so now i have to know how to make them my minions and attack on command
🤣😂😅
Zinka Side I love this comment sm.
Hahahaha
Sameeee!!! Ima invite my least favorite neighbor over and attack!!
SAMMME
Corona virus brought me here. I'm farming my own eggs now.
Company for today, food for later.
Food ? I hope you mean eggs , please mean eggs
@@elizabethfindlay8118 of course I meant eggs. Only eggs, i hope...
But I've seen the grocery stores lately so....
That would be a lot of work.
Ditto!
I might too
Me too. My 3 baby chicks get here in a few days. Good luck!
I thought you were serious at first about the aquarium thing 😂😂
He got me with the aquarium thing as well.
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Corrie 97 same
😂😂😂😂
I know I was like, *what?* 😂😂😂
Me and my wife are wanting to start our own little farm. Thank you this info was so healthy
Got my first chicks today..with everything going on in the world..figured it would be best to get some chickens to become more self sufficient..thanks for the video :)
😂😂😂. You totally got me with that aquarium comment and fish acclimation joke. LOL
i unexpectedly got baby chicks and this actually really helps, thank you!
Am I the only one watching this while holding there chick? Also, great video! Found it very helpful!
Glad to help!
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer can colored chicks live longer if they get rescued ? or is it true that they die anyway
@@cloudymel271 unfortunately the dyeing process pushed all the toxic dye into their organs, so they will dye anyways too poisoning. sad things
@@cloudymel271 I used to have two as a kid, until one died when my friend banged a spoon on ones head, and the other one died of loneliness
Thank God for farmers ! If I raised chickens, cows, pigs, they would all become pets with names and that's not good, so I'll just let you guys do it and thank you again ! Great video Josh.
Raise hens for eggs, there is no rule that says your hens can't be pets.
Hey i would do the same. Lol
My Mom and Dad grew up on small farmers. They picked an Animal named it and took care of it like their kid. Like all proud parents they compared their kid to their sibling's kids. When butchering time happen they cried their eyes out like they lost a child or friend. As time went on the learned not to get to close.
It all depends on how many you get and what their purpose is. I love every single one of my laying chickens and their roosters. If we get meat chickens, you usually get a lot at once and they are ready for the freezer in like 2 months, so you don't have nearly enough time to get really attached. Now if I have a chick that was originally supposed to be for meat but it was sick or get injured and I had to nurse it back to health many I spent a lot of time with them and we bonded, they usually get spared and sent to general "pet" chicken population lol. Many also cull their laying chickens that have stopped laying...I don't do that. They get to retire peacefully here 😂
august same here. I was raised to help grandparents butcher chickens but mine are my pets. Couldn’t do it now. As of 2 months ago I became a new chicken mamma.
I’m getting 8 baby chickens in August and this really helped
I just got my chickens yesterday. Iv been chicken everything. It feels like having a new born I guess. I'm working on second coop, I got heat lamps 🤣
My grandma just showed up at home yesterday with a baby chicken and I already love him ! I am taking care of him and your video was extremely helpful, thank you !
1 baby chicken needs a few friends.....remember a chicken isn't a cat or a dog..these animals are flock animals and handling them too much can kill them. You need a few more and a brooder setup or you'll most likely loose your chicken to illness. Google it...I'm telling ya the truth....nobody should ever sell anyone "a chick" that's why typically they sell them in a batch of 3 minimum
I have been doing lots of research for the past few months about these beautiful baby creatures, I do have all the materials and space and everything needed to give them an amazing life. Thank you for the information, I'll be getting my chicks tomorrow!
Just picked up 24 chicks this morning, thanks for the information. Just subbed.
Our babies will be here next week. I've been watching all your videos on baby chicks and they've all been very helpful. We're so excited!
Baby chicks are the best, any tips to help keep them healthy and alive is great!!!
You, young man, are a natural teacher! Like Justin Rhodes and family, these animals are safe. TFS.
When I grow up I want to be a doctor but I also want to have a farm full of chickens and chicks it’s my dream..you really did inspire me I have 2 baby chicks but my mom will take them away from me when they become chickens since we don’t have a proper place to keep them. That’s why I want to have my own farm also because chickens are the cutest animals ever!! love from Mexico!
Nice job Josh. Always look forward to your videos, experience and insight. WOOOOOOO
I’m getting a little group of chicks in a couple of weeks and this helped out a lot! Thanks so much! I’m so excited!
How r those lil birdys doing
I actually got 3 chicks today and this was a huge help! Thanks!
I’m buying 4 or 6 chicks today or tomorrow and I found this really helpful to set up for them
Love this video! I’ve been off grid almost a year and my landlord is coming home with chicks tonight! Thanks for this video ❤️❤️❤️
great tutorial, we get our first ever chicks shipped out to us in AZ on Thursday, so this was very helpful
Thanks again
My kids and I learned a lot about what to do with our new baby chicks and really enjoyed your video. Thanks for all the info
I got 5 baby chicks! And a baby turkey!! This helped me and my dad we will love are chicks thank you
I got chicks today this saved their lives thank u so much
2:11 aww the chick falls asleep in ur hand it melted my heart 😍😍
This is awesome. Thank you for taking the time to pass on your experience.
Means a lot to us first timers.
Thank you for your time and information,
I'm a new birdy dad, picked up 3 hens a month ago producing 3 eggs pr day in rotation for me, I just went to tractor supply for odds and ends and I couldn't pass the chick's... to cute, so I ended up getting 4 little baby birdies, I have a lot to learn, love your mellow approach to sharing your knowledge and looking forward to learning more from your channel.
Take care and stay safe ....

U.S. FARMERS BUILT THIS GREAT LAND.
and your knowledge is invaluable.
Thank you.
I raise chicks and the rocks in the waterer is a first rate idea! I always lose a couple because they get wet and die of hypothermia. Also, you must not have many varmints in NC. My first setup was exactly like yours... next morning 25 chicks were gone! I built a secure cage with hinged doors on top made out of 2x4s and chicken wire. I haven’t lost one since! Great video. I wish I had seen it a year ago! I would have had to learn so many hard lessons!
Josh I appreciate your knowledge and expertise.
You are very welcome Darryl
Thank you for the great tips and video! We have 29 eggs on day 15 of incubation, working on the brooder today. Will be back for more tips!
Thanks for the water tip! I’m planning to get a couple of baby chicks and I would’ve never knew! 🐣
thanks!! i just got two new mallard ducks two amerucana's and two new blue laced red wing's this was very informative!!
Josh that was a great tutorial on raising baby chicks.
Thanks Jacky
Very helpful and well presented! Simple and to the point! Thank you!
Thank you so much for your expertise and advice! I have 4 Delaware baby chicks I'm so excited!
I've been a follower for sometime now, your videos are very informative and never boring. You have a good personality and it shines across the screen. Keep up the good work.
Thanks buddy
This is extremely great advice and information. Can't wait till we get our chickens. We are laying out the coop now.
Thanks
Just got 4 chicks today. This was very helpful. Thanks!
Just got 14 chicks today. This was very helpful. I'm in North Carolina to!
what a great informational video. Thank you
Looking forward to getting some chickens of our own. Thanks for the tips!
See my channel
Im sooo excited! Im about to get some chicks and i think i like it!!! (Wanted them for years!!)
Thank you this help me soooo much,I’m getting 4 chicks today for a animal day at my school and I didn’t know how to look after chicks,thanks again😊
I'm getting 15 chicks tomorrow this was really helpful!
Moe Loi good luck with your new chicks! I have some videos on my channel that might help you
Thank you! I have learned a lot!
We just got 3 baby chicks. This was so very helpful. Thank you!! >.
I do the exact same thing other than I only give them water for the first few hours. Only reason I do this is so I know they all find the water first before introducing food. Great video. Keep em coming
Thank you so much, this really helped me a lot.
Hi! I have 6 chickens and 2 rooster, I’m getting rid of one rooster and getting more chickens! So far, my chicken had 3 eggs. One is gonna be a chick! 😋 I just found this video helpful! Thanks for your help!
Why do you get your chicks . Are you in trinidad
18 days to go until my six hatch!!!! Super excited so I'm reading up so I'm ready!!!
I’m buying two next week! Thank you for this information! Super useful
thank you im only nine and were getting chicks
Cool!
Dana Johnson cool
I can remember leaving baby chickens with mother hen in half rain tank Australian version like yours just tad bigger. Your set up is better with some great ideas, I enjoy vid👍
5:51 I'm embarrassed. 😂 I quickly wrote that down, fully believing it.
I’m hatch about 15 chic right now and this is my first time so this is very helpful !!
Glad it was helpful!
Getting 7 chicks already got 5 rn this helps A LOT thx :)
This is really helpful! My chicks are hatching very soon!
Very insightful! Thank you very much. In this swath of YT info vids, it’s nice to receive all the info in one place and concisely.
Great video for those who don't know what they are doing to get started. Added it to my playlist for such people
I'm a little lucky as the Meyer Hatchery is less than an hour's drive from me. Almost instant gratification ! No waiting for the mail ! The last time that I was there , I purchased two extra chicks from the grab bin. That means , guess what you got ? One chick has grown to look much like the New Hampshires. The other chick does not look like any of my other chickens at all ! It also is the one with a name. I call it Oddball . And one other with a name. I thought that it was a Henrietta . But , "she" has turned out to be a Henry. So I have an Oddball and a Henry . I have four chicken breeds plus Oddball .
Have a great day from Plum Brook Farm.
Awesome
Greetings from Plum Brook Farm.
The chickens are so much fun. A hoot every day ! I use mobile coops which I move every day. And the chickens also free range every day.
At night I always have two chickens that refuse to go into the coop.
Oddball and one of the Barred Rocks. Those "dumb " chickens are really good at evading capture ! So they usually spend the night roosting on TOP of the coop instead of inside. They will eventually learn because there is a really large Great Horned Owl around that likes a chicken dinner !
This was really helpful for an assignment I had to do, thanks.
Awesome...I'm glad ya learned something! Wooooo!!
Great video, you didn't forget anything. I've had chickens for about 4 years now. Unfortunately, we got a roo last batch, a big ole Bramah who wakes me up by 5:00 every morning! Love your videos even tho we aren't homesteaders.
My friend just left chickens on my step and I have no idea what to do so this is very helpful thanks king
Just got 3 different kinds, 2 of each.
Now I need a hat like yers to be a good chicken man!
Hi I might want to get baby chickens and for the brooder could I maybe put like some wood caves for them to hid under like the ones you would get for a reptile or can I not do that?
Just stumbled across your channel! Love it, thanks for the good pointers! We are getting our first chicks to start of our farming adventure next week! Keep up the great work and God bless!
Thank you for your advice and thoughts
Have you ever tried those little warming plates for brooding? I'd be quite curious to hear your thoughts on those ...
Thanks for the great video on raising chicks!
Bear Family Farm me too, seen them but never used them... what do you think?
can't wait to get some chicks someday! Love the channel and thanks for all the info. A lot of what you do reminds me of my childhood.
We are getting 105 chicks and this actually really helps thanks ima be giving u a big thumbs up
Get some feed!! Get ready for some poop! lol
I just got 8 baby chicks today from meyers, all 8 are active, alert, eating and drinking!
great...now please don't be hard on yourself if you lose one or two...you can do everything right and still have some loss....it's normal so please be prepared mentally for the loss...maybe it won't happen...but have your heart prepared..it's not your fault if it happens
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer oh I’d be so sad. But I do understand that happens. These are my first chickens since I was a kid… where we had a whole bunch on a farm and don’t really remember too much besides getting them food and water and collecting the eggs. I actually have found that your videos have answered most if not all my questions so far!
We've had chickens for a lomg time but never babies and I got 3 today and I'm watching this with them laying on my chest
Dude, same!
Awww that's so cute
Step 1 , Open box at ground level … some are able to hop out! Otherwise great video!
Thank you Josh I am from Zambia In Africa
Just got 2 today from FFA and im in love with them
I got two baby chicks here and I find this helpful
Wait. Ive been scoopin the shavings out daily. Its ok to add on top? Lmao dammit
Sure....wont' hurt a thing....then just dump them when ur done...now if the smell gets to ya...you might dump sooner
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer I'll definitely try the layering cuz hey.. if i can save a little time in the day, yay! Tho right now they are in my living room so smell might very well be a factor. But I'll try it. Ty :)
Also if ya don’t mind the addition, we started using wood pellets which as they get wet, expand and absorb. Seems like they get a good footing. Nice to see the rock in the water. We used our wedding reception marbles. Made the mistake once to cover the whole tank one day as we were running to the cellar for tornado warning cause it was cold. Well...eh...hours later it was death. Smothered I figure. Lessons...
Also, a thought...I’m buying chick grit for the first time with thought of putting it in the water...like a win win..anyone try it? I have it and thought, it’s rock. Bad idea? No? Otherwise, I’ll just use rock this time around.
I’m going to get 30 chicks (I am an experienced owner) and I’m raising meat chickens.
Are chicks easy to raise
@@eliadicicco3941 I’ve had some but be ready with a light and sometimes they die
I just got 4 chicks and this helped Soo much thank you.
Very simple well put together video! I am also here to learn about the Chick stage. I had chickens a couple years ago but they came fully grown. Thank you so much, will be subscribing!!!
YES BABY CHICKENS ♥
Is this a re upload or just similar to one you did in the past?
That gravel in the waterer is very helpful. Thank you
i did learn a lot, got my chicks today, just refreshing about taking care of them.
What height tank would you recommend? I have a galvanized steel bucket that is about a foot tall. Would that size work?
18-24 inches...1 foot is way to shallow....birds will jump out in a weeks time. Taller is better...you can just use plywood too...if you don't wanna spend all that money on a $100 tank. I've found the 100 gallon tarter farm and ranch tanks work best
If a baby chick is cold they will chirp constantly
Turn off ac
Thanks
good thing i ive in texas where its hotter each year lol
@@robing9837 Depending on where you live in Texas :)
Really??? Thanks for the info.
I know how to raise chicks but I like to watch other people just to see how they raise them. I have 6 chicks right now and the mom is raising them. She is such a good mom.
None of my hens go broody, they not really the broody type so whenever I get chicks I raise them myself then add them to the flock
Great info. Thanks Josh. Like the feeder, using one like it for our chickens. No pooping where you eat!!
Hello. Found your channel today and I have a question. How different is it to raise chickens here in the Philippines than in the states. We retired here,my wife's home. We have purchased 2 farms. One has a lot of coconut, palm oil, mango and bananas. We are also putting in crops. Luckily we have lots of family help. The only for chickens and goats. Cows are hard here. Just subscribed and will be binge watching now. Have not been around chickens for years. Any help appreciated. Thanks
Welcome to the channel!
i picked up 3 ISA brown chicks from my local tractor supply, all egg layers. my mom’s always wanted to start a flock and so we’re going almost all mixed! this is a really good 101, we’re on week one and they’re doing okay, but i’m double checking everything we might need or want to implement!!
How's it going now? I'm trying to get a couple in a week, when tractor supply gets them
Love my Isa Browns. . One of the best breeds! 🥰
Awesome!
Thanks for sharing this beautiful, inspiring and educative video with the rest of the world.
I'm planning for ordering chicks, this video was awesome. Thanks!
We just picked up 10 chicks today We're starting small.. I just couldnt help myself a $1.00 a bird perfect price and the wife really wanted them
Hello sir. Where did you get your chicks please?
@@daughterofthemosthighgod863 they were on sale at Orschelns here in Arkansas
You Should've bought a hen and then Borrowed a rooster free chicks
what to do if the other birds kept on pecking the other bird's leg. it is bleeding and idk what to do
You need to separate that bird and put it with only one other bird....try and find one that's not yet figured out that "red color means food" or you will loose your chick....plain and simple.....keep the feeder full of food.....these are omnivores and will eat oneanother if they are hungry....you may still loose the chick......chickens have a way of weeding out the weak...I'm sorry to say...separate them asap!
thank you very much!!! you sure are responsive, you gained a new subscriber !
Take them out and whoop there ass. A belt will do the trick.
@@LambeauLeeeper XD its chicks maam not kids (XD)
I have 31 chicks yesterday I need more vids like this!
Just got 5 baby chicks helped lot thanks
