I just got 3 little chicks! They are just over 1 week old and are eating, sleeping, and making messes like crazy.  We’re going to treat them very well and give them lots of roaming space in our backyard. After learning about industrial chicken farming and how the animals and workers are treated (locked up chickens, disease, ripping off poor farmers) I didn’t want to support such practices. This is going to be fun! They are sooo cuteee <333

If anyone else raises chickens, please give me some advice!

  7. danellesheree said: Feed them oyster shells along with chicken feed, and all kitchen scraps (fruits, veggies)! Enjoy the eggs.

  10. latestartpremed said: The more you play with them as chicks the friendlier they are. We raised one at the house and even when he went in the coop with the others, he still jumped on our shoulders and liked being held.
