Baby chicks

You will need:
Red brooder lamp
Thermometer
A cage or box at least 1-2 foot high (Brooder)
Pine shavings
Water container
Packet of Durvet Duramycin 10
Feeder
2 blocks of wood 1" thick

Hang or place the red brooder lamp above the  brooder. The red tint will prevent the other chicks from pecking a hurt chick. They don't see blood as easy.
Place a thermometer inside the brooder. Always make sure the temp stays between 90°-100° for 2 weeks. After that reduce the temp by 5 degrees each week by raising the lamp until they get there first feathers. If the chicks huddle up under the lamp they are cold. If they are scattered out around staying away from the lamp they're too hot.
You can raise or lower the lamp to adjust the temp.
Place a good layer of shavings on the bottom of the "brooder". 
Place the water container and the feeder on a 1in thick block of wood. This keeps them from getting shavings inside as much.
Place a tablespoon of the Durvet Duramycin 10 in the water until they are old enough to move out of the brooder. This will prevent them from getting diseases.
After about a month they will need a stick inside a few inches off the floor of the brooder. This will get them use to roosting.


Keep the brooder, water container, and feeder clean.Change the shavings as needed too.
