Don’t buy that. Minimalist guide to raising chicks.

They don't need oyster shell till they start like laying eggs

Ok, I do not need more chicks... but I love chicks so I had to watch your take. 🙂 I like your heating pad idea. If we have them without a mama, we have used a heat lamp (but you are right, they are a risk) or if a mama hatches them out we bring the mama and the chicks in the garage and she takes care of them. Either way, I love cute little chicks!

What side of town are you in? My folks had city ordinance confiscate their chickies in PTC maybe 10-15 years ago
