about 2 months.
until they are pullets, pullets are chickens who lost their baby feathers and grew quite a bit but will still have some baby feathers. if u have other chickens outside put them out and watch em for like half and observe how well they interasct with the others.
Precocial chicks are born with feathers, open eyes, and are able to move around independently shortly after hatching, whereas altricial chicks are born naked, with closed eyes, and are completely dependent on their parents for care. Precocial chicks have a higher level of maturity at birth compared to altricial chicks.
Not really if given to a youngster, it will end up crushed, it will die lack of water feed , get cold die ect .if not they will lose intrest after a while . i once seen a kid have a chick for about 5 min then it was doomed .iv'e had numorous people give me chicks because they were given these chicks for Easter next day now what.
You can carefully hold chicks when they are a day old (before then, they should be in the incubator/hatcher). It is very important, though, to hold them a bit loosely, since squeezing them tightly can kill them.
Usually the heat lamp in a brooder box is used for the first two months. Chicks go into the brooder box within 24 hours of hatch and the temperature on day one is very close to the temperature of the incubator...95F. This temperature is maintained until the chicks are dry and fluffy and then it can be reduced weekly by about 5 degrees until the temperature in the box is ambient to the outside temperature. Ideally about 70F.
Definitely NO because hens egg is chicks before hatching and when hatched when it grow up it is already rooster if the chick is a boy but if it is a girl it is a hen..
Chicks should be vaccinated against Mareks Disease.
If the chicks are not hungry (meaning someone already fed them), you can still just click on them and it will groom them.

They need rest and warmth. Newly hatched chicks should be left in the incubator for at least 24 hours. They do not need food and as long as the humidity is at 80%within that incubator they will not need water. Chicks should be dry and fluffy before being moved into the brooder box when they will get their first food and water ration.
This is tough because how sincere could he be when all these chicks are hitting on him. Do you know anything about him outside of work. Does he date the chicks that hit on him for one night stands, does he have any other interests that would attract you to him. Maybe because so many chicks are hitting on him is the attraction for you, to conquer the wanted. I would seriously get to know more about him and verify it before getting involved, you may get more then you bargained for, including a disease......
No, after 3 weeks the chicks should have enough feathering to do a continual drop in brooder temperature. If ambient (outside) temperatures are above 60F then it is fine to reduce heat. Rule of thumb is small drops in brooder temperature daily until the chicks get used to the cooler temperatures.
Chicks get nourishment before they hatch from the egg from the egg white and the yolk, which is absorbed into the chick's stomach just prior to hatching.
Healthy active chicks should be kept warn and safe in a chick brooder box. Chicks that are listless and inactive should be separated from the others and kept in warm humid conditions until they fluff up and start to improve.
YES, as long as they have some type of shelter to go to... They will be fine outside, having a rooster helps a ton!
