Raising baby chickens. A quick guide to keeping and raising chicks. This video shows the basic requirements of chicks for their first 5-8 weeks (by which time they should get their full feathers). They will grow quite quickly (and so will the size of their brooder). Once they have their full feathers they will be able to move into their chicken coop.

my friend and I wanted to pool our money and order one chick together. We were then going to switch back and forth every other month and keep logs and reocrds on it’s growth, how much it’s eating and so on.
