OMG! I got two little chicks! :D

Thanks guys!!! ^_^ The information helped me, thank you KBlaix

Well, the update is, i got a third chick. Its a little larger and its desi....i can't find any picture for it on google images...it has the head of a cornish and there are different eagle like textures on it. Its a little large in size too. Its faster and bigger and it is more frightened of us than the other broiler chicks. The broiler chicks are known not to live for long, but, thank god, we kept three chicks and they stayed longer than 1 year Hopefully these will stay with us for more than 2 years, because in my school a girl said, "I'll tell you one thing about these chicks, they will die in two days" I STILL REMEMBER EVERY WORD SHE SAID! I feel like going in the assembly and telling that girl, that tomorrow is their third day with us!

I question...its weirdish....There is bird poop stuck to the desi chick's backside, what do I do? It scratches it and its gross and the other two peck it... It makes us feel sick and worried. I heard chicks like these get sick and die

The three were cuddled when I saw them and they usually don't move away from the place where they are sleeping.

All cuddled together is a sign they're not warm enough. They will sleep a lot in the early days, but they should get up and move around plenty too. Both day and night they should have a basking spot of 95°F for the first week (90° the second week, 85° the third week, etc). You can use a red heat bulb or a ceramic bulb that won't give off too much light at night.

You should have success with them as long as they're kept warm enough and clean. Keep fed and clean water available at all times and you should have lovely full grown chickens in a few months. I've both bought day-old chicks and hatched some from eggs and I've yet to lose one. They are really pretty easy.

That's not uncommon with baby chicks. You can take a damp cloth and clean them up. If you leave the dirty butts they can become impacted and then they will get sick, but if you clean it she should be fine.

Oh, Kari thanks for helping Sana!

CONGRATS on the babies! Chickens are AWESOME pets!

Great advice, KBlaix. I ADORE keeping chickens! I really miss having them! The moment I have the room, I will have chickens again!

Thank You ever so much Kari!! That helped a lot!

I feel bad and sad right now. The sad thing is...my sister has two little sons and they get stuffy noses and coughs when they come near feathers.. It means the chicks have to go... My sister and I are totally not with this plan, but it has to happen We're giving them to a lady who has been caring for chicks before and is willing to take these chicks in. I'm glad she works in my sister's home, so, we can ask her how the chicks are doing. I'm sure she can take good care of them. Now that I know how to clean the chicks up, I will try and do it as soon as possible, maybe right now. The little brown, Chocky has a dirty butt too. I'll clean them up and probably send them away

A small good news.
I'll probably be keeping two ducklings for a day! My teacher wants them and I'll try buying them for her from a famous shop nearby There are lots of birds etc. there so, I can easily buy them from there and keep them for a day and give it to them the next day. I'm excited about that, but, I wish, that I could still hear the little cheeping of our little Chicky, Chocky and Cuckoo...

Now they are soo attached that if, you take out one, Chocky especially starts crying. It cheeps a lot and loudly and when you put the last one back it runs to it. I also learned that they know we give them food and water so they come running to us. I wish I could keep the little three, but, I can't because of my nephews

Good thoughts and wishes for the trio. I hope you live a long (more than 2 years) happy life.

I hope life treats you kind
And I hope you have all you've dreamed of
And I wish to you, joy and happiness
But, above all this, I wish you
Love!

I'm sorry you aren't able to keep the chicks, but I'm sure they'll be happy in their new home. It's nice you'll be able to get updates on them!

Have fun with the ducklings! My son wants ducks very badly, but it's not the right time for us to add them to our family. Maybe in a few years we will be able to?

Thank you again! Thank you soooo much! I'll try remembering these great points you told me. If I ever get to buy chicks again, I'll be sure to keep these points in my mind.

Its soo quiet now. I can't hear their cheeping and cute little loud voices I miss them already. And of course, this happens nearly always to everybody, today in the morning, my sister went to visit them for the last time and they were extra sweet and adorable to her I wish I could meet them again! I'll keep asking that old lady how the chicks are doing I took lots of photos (especially of the pink one. Gosh it moves so much!) and they are on my brother's crazy mobile, so i think it might take a lot of time to upload them. I'll try uploading them whenever I can

Probably going to go buy the ducklings in like 45 minutes! My class fellow (the one who I am going to give the ducklings to. She is that teacher's daughter) is super duper excited about them. She wasn't going to come tomorrow, and I told her that if she doesn't come, I'm not bringing the ducklings and she was like, "NO! NO! I'll come!" I laughed a bit at her reaction
