you dont need to bath chicks if they are dirty they can sort it iut themselves but if its serious then just use a damp cloth
They need a mother until they grow feathers which might be in about a week, then you can let the mother be a normal hen again, but separate chicks from all birds
Day-old chicks do not need their humidity to be monitored.

I think I will take a bath by myself when I'm 7 or 8..
well first think how dirty you are? how much time do you have? what do you think is a good time for your bath to take? and how old are you should you really be taking a bath?
you can give your shih tzu a bath as soon as you get it home but i would suggest 2-3 months
when it's too cold
When they are large enough to withstand the "pecking-order" abuse. The worst thing you can do is throw a young bird in with an established flock and watch it pecked to death after raising and caring for it for weeks. Don't do it based on age alone, the chicks need to be able to hold their own and or run faster than the senior adults in the flock. More of a problem if the birds are confined in a small area than if they are free range. At this time, I have 4 day old chicks in a brooder box, 4 week old chicks in a brooder cage and 9 week old pullets in a holding pen all waiting to join the main flock of 25 free range birds. This will take place in about another month for the largest birds (pullets).
Chicks can be taken off starter crumb and transitioned to a grower feed around 8-10 weeks of age, when they are fully feathered and ready to transition to a diet with lower protein content. It's important to monitor their growth and adjust their diet accordingly to ensure they are getting the nutrients they need at each stage of development.
he should probably check into a mental hospital. and not worry about the bath with the 10 year old.
No. Just take a warm wash cloth, with excess water squeezed out, and wipe down and dry well. However; there really shouldn't be a need for any of this, as the mother will clean them very well. Puppies can also have a bath when they are about 6 months old. BUT BE GENTLE!!!!!!!!!
