Wait to let the chicks move it with the other chickens until they are nearly the same size or when you feel that the older one's won't pick on the younger ones.

Do you separate the bantam chicks after they are born from the rest of the chickens?

YES if you don't the other chickens will kill them so heres what you do if you have a coop. keep the babies in a separate cage but inside the coop that will let the other chickens get used to them do that for a couple days then let the chicks out and see if they like each other if they don't put them back in the cage.


Why and when cocks chirp?

Roosters, or male chickens, crow to establish their territory and dominance, as well as to communicate with other roosters and chickens. They often crow in the early morning to mark their territory and let other roosters know their presence.


How do you get old chickens and a rooster to get along with baby chicks and a peekin duck?

The only way to accomplish this is to separate them until the chicks are old enough to stay out of harms way. Allowing the chicks to socialize with the flock can be done with a temporary cage, the chicks are protected yet among the older birds. All flocks of chickens have a pecking order and there is no way to safely stop this, the more grown up your chicks are, the better able to handle the pecking and chasing until peace reigns in the hen house.

How do you raise chicks?

If you are ordering them by mail, where they don't have a mother, you start them out in a brooder with a heat lamp at 90 degrees Fahrenheit. A brooder is a box that is raised off the ground with bedding, water, and food. Water should go in a dispenser which you should be able to buy at the local feed store. For food, medicated chick food works. Avoid feeding babies any other food than the medicated food for risk of dying. After a few weeks, move them into a wired off area big enough for them to grow. You also need a heat lamp in there for a while too. When they are 4-5 weeks old, you can let them out and feed them food scraps.If the chicks are hatched with a mother, build a chicken wire cage about 6x6 feet. Place the mother and chicks in the cage with a water dispenser and a food dispenser. Use the medicated chick formula.*(note) When the chicks are in the brooder, here is a life saving tip. Literally. Check the chicks butts for poop that clings on. DON'T PULL IT OFF! GENTLY wipe with a damp cloth until removed. If you choose not to wipe butts the chick could explode. If you pull off the poop, the chicks intestines could get pulled out too.*If you see signs of chicks pecking on each other, that means move them to a bigger area. If they are still too young, use a red heat lamp to calm them down.

How old do baby chicks need to be to be held?

Yes! I am raising a set of six breeds of chicks in a 7 week " chick education" school program that has about 90 children and teachers holding chicks twice a week. The first day, when the chicks were 4 days old, all 79 children and 15 adults had an opportunity to hold the chicks. All six are thriving beautifully at week 5.
