Hi All!
I have a question about a few chicks I just purchased. This is my first time raising chicks (for eggs) and I am unsure of the age of my newly purchased chicks. I didnt think to ask and they place I purchased them at is closed until Tues. They are rather small and I am not even sure if one can tell the difference between 5 day olds and 2 weeks olds. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Oh! one more question. At what point can I let them eat greens, grass, or oatmeal?
Thanks again!
impatiently waiting.
They already seem to be trying to fly the temporary coop.
