When should I buy chicks?

Spring and early summer are historically the most popular times to receive baby chicks, for two basic reasons. First, female chickens start laying eggs at 6 months of age (sometimes even earlier), meaning you'll usually get your eggs before the year is out!

Does Tractor Supply vaccinate chicks?

Don't buy chicks from Tractor Supply Company. The birds most people get from TSC are much too young to be vaccinated for CRD, so by saying they are "fully vaccinated" they are lying. The only disease their chicks are "supposedly" vaccinated for is Mareks Disease.

How do you take care of baby chicks?

Give your chickens lots of space. Young chicks need to be close to water and food at all times. Spread a 4-inch layer of pine shavings on the floor, then lay several layers of newspaper over that. Scatter lots of chick feed on the paper and also have feeding troughs filled in the pen.

Can a chicken change gender?

Chickens can sometimes undergo natural sex changes. In the absence of a functional left ovary, the dormant right sex organ may begin to grow, if the activated right gonad is an ovotestis or testes, it will begin secreting androgens. The hen does not completely change into a rooster, however.

How often should a chicken coop be cleaned?

Simply add enough shavings to keep the floor composting nicely, and the chickens do the aeration for you with their scratching behavior. Scattering corn on the coop floor encourages them. The litter has beneficial microbes, think of it as probiotics for your hens. Once or twice a year or less, you clean the coop out.

How can you tell a baby chicks gender?

Vent sexing, also known simply as venting, involves squeezing the feces out of the chick, which opens up the chick's anal vent (called a cloaca) slightly, allowing the chicken sexer to see if the chick has a small "bump", which would indicate that the chick is a male.
