Baby Chicks
Raising baby chicks is a wonderful learning and bonding experience for humans and chickens alike. It will take them approximately 4-5 months to reach physical maturity, and approximately 5-7 months to begin laying eggs, depending on the breed and the time of year. (All are sexed females unless otherwise noted.)
Baby Chicks are:
- Up to 3 weeks old, as young as 2 days old
- Baby chicks must be kept in a brooder indoors with proper supplies until fully feathered around 6 weeks from the date of hatching.
- Vaccinated for Marek’s Disease using the most complete 4-strain vaccine, and administered in-ovo or within 24 hours of hatch by professionals. Hatched at NPIP Certified Hatcheries.
- Sexed and guaranteed females with a 95% success rate, except crested and bantam breeds.
- Approximately 4-5 months to reach physical maturity
- Approximately 5-8 months, or 20- weeks, to begin laying eggs, depending on the breed and the time of year
