Baby Chicks!!! Cute, fluffy, and sometimes troublesome. ;)

An ongoing, learning-curve filled topic for most homesteaders!

First, our Unusual Animal of The Week!! Hint: It's adorable nickname is Ships of The Desert.

The questions we most often receive are centered around chickens and specifically baby chicks. :) And we have PLENTY of knowledge on chickens in general......raising and breeding chickens for the past 25+ years, you could say we have just a bit of experience. ;)

So we thought we would go over the most commonly asked questions (and our answers!) on several chicken topics. :)

Here are the questions we answer today. :)

• How old do baby chicks have to be to free range (with and without a mommy hen)?
• Do you use a heat lamp for baby chicks?
• How do you introduce new chicks to an established flock?
• Should you leave a hen with babies with the rest of your flock?

Make sure to listen for all the answers! :) And for tons of unedited laughs, of course. ;)
