What Do You Need To Raise Baby Chickens?
To raise baby chickens, you need a brooding area, a heat lamp, a feeder, a waterer, chick starter feed, chick grit, and bedding material such as wood chips or straw. The brooding area should be free from drafts, predators, and excess moisture, and should have a secure lid to prevent the chicks from escaping. The heat lamp should provide warmth of around 95 degrees Fahrenheit for the first week, decreasing by 5 degrees each week thereafter until the chicks are fully feathered. The feeder, waterer, and bedding material should be kept clean and replenished regularly to ensure the chicks are healthy and comfortable.
