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!
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.
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 :)
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
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.
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.
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!
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!
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!
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 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 .... LGB U.S. FARMERS BUILT THIS GREAT LAND. and your knowledge is invaluable. Thank you.
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.
Ewie hey I have some videos on my channel that might help you with some refreshers! I am trying to build a fan base so it would mean a lot if you checked them out.
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!
@@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.
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.
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!
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👍
My stepfather has a lot of animals and he got 200 chicks a couple days ago and im gonna try help him out thanks for the video. Im an engineer and i love that i dont know this stuff its fun to learn something new everyday.
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.
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 !
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!!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience! Getting my first birds in 3 weeks. Starting with laying hens. Meat birds either next year or later this year. Baby steps lol.
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
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!
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?
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!
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!!!
I already have chicks and chickens but then sadly one of them died suddenly today.... I literally cried my eyeballs and lungs and heart out like a maniac!!!!! Fortunately I still have one chick who's leg is very weak since it hatched out of it's egg earlier then expected so it was still weak. So after my hick died today, I didn't want to loose ShenShen ( the chick's that is alive ) too..... I stumbled upon this video and it was SUPER DUPER useful for me to raise my weak chick. Thx for providing us the information that we needed!!!! :3 :)
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer I'm gonna be buying a lot more ... this specific one tho, will be mine forever. And he's doing fine for now, I'm just hoping that he lives for a very long time. Thank you for the advice ... I'll work on it asap
I’m getting 6 chicks tomorrow and I found this extremely helpful. Thank you!
Awesome...glad to help...please share the video with your facebook friends or like minded folks!

@@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
