How Old Should Chicks Be When You Buy Them?
Chicks should ideally be bought when they are one day old, or at most, up to one week old. This is because younger chicks are easier to acclimate to new surroundings and have a better survival rate. Additionally, older chicks may have already developed bad habits or become accustomed to the previous owner’s care routine, making it harder for a new owner to adjust their care.
