Raising Chickens 101..Best advice and education you'll find anywhere on the web!
What happens here
Gently pick up each baby chick and dip its beak into the waterer to ensure it learns where to drink. This is crucial as chicks are inquisitive and will learn quickly from each other. Place all chicks into the prepared brooder, making sure there's enough space. The brooder should be a 250-gallon tank if raising a large quantity of birds, or a smaller 100-gallon tank for fewer birds, offering dual purpose later on the farm.
Goal: Safely place chicks in the brooder and ensure they know how to drink
