Yeah they poop a lot. I always get a newspaper when ever I take them out and lay let them run around inside.
Also, another IMPORTANT NOTE. Do not let your chicks out without supervision especially in the outdoors. It is often good to let them play around outside BUT be warned of CATS! They can eat them!
All my baby chicks went missing because of the stray cats around my neighbourhood! T_T
here is another tip for first time chick buyers. DO NOT buy chicks from tractor supply, because many people come in and touch the chicks and can spread nasty diseases to them. buy them from a hatchery.
my friend and I wanted to pool our money and order one chick together. We were then going to switch back and forth every other month and keep logs and reocrds on it's growth, how much it's eating and so on. Does anyone think this plan could, in any way, endanger or upest the chick. If so tell us and we won't do it.

TO coolcatjojo, THEY CAN GET A CHILL AND DIE WHEN YOU MOVE IT SO KEEP IT IN ONE HOUSE!
Since I doubt you got the mesage ill send you a reply. This happend to me beofre when i left the chicks in my room and carlessly turned on the AC resulting in the death of one of the chicks.
I thik this video was very informative and gave correct info to those wishing to rais chickens. The only thing i want to add is that you make sure that you keep the brooder away from open windows or anything that may cause a draft on the chicks.
When I was in grade 1 my teacher brought in a dozen or so eggs and we watched them hatch in an incubator. It was really cool and we got to watch them grow. Ever since I've wanted a group of my own. I love this information - Thank you!
Thanks for posting this, just a added note... a medicated feed with coccidiostat is not necessary if you have your chicks vaccinated for coccidia at the hatchery, in fact medicated feed will negate this new vaccine. Just thought I'd toss that in (">
Vaccinations are in compliance with the NOP/USDA organic standards. You should verify with your certifying agency before having your chicks vaccinated.

@bunniboo1414 Ameraucanas are usually more of a blue. An 'Easter-egger' may lay a green egg.

do u know what breed of egg laying chicken is the least loud or not very loud?
christianz2010 2 years ago
I don't know which breed is the quietest, but generally the bantam (smaller size) breeds are quieter than the full-size breeds.

your 'chick' won't be a 'chick' for long. they grow fast and you will be moving a chicken back and forth before you know it.

Do the birds, or eggs, still qualify as organic if you vaccinate?
