Everything you need to know about raising baby chickens, simple, easy and fun

What happens here

Fill a chick feeder (a long, narrow feeder with multiple openings is used here) with chick starter feed. The video recommends a 20% protein chick starter, specifically 'crumbles'. This initial feeder is for newly arrived chicks who are learning to eat. As chicks grow, hanging feeders will be used to prevent them from kicking bedding into their food. Also, it's mentioned to use pine shavings, avoiding cedar shavings, as the latter can put more dust in the air. The coarser grit shavings are preferred to reduce dust.

Goal: Fill a chick feeder with appropriate chick starter feed to ensure the new chicks have immediate access to nutrition.
