Pick up some chick crumb if you can but they're prob onto spiders etc already too. The crumb will give them the best balance for their age

nipple drinkers are safer. and keep water fresher and  free from dirt,and droppings.

My chickens live in the north east of England, not Gerrards Cross.

Ours usually live in the same small house in an outside run/pet cage.

 The cage has a lower level that has small cube weldmesh cable tied to it as the little beggars could walk through the bars and become crow food. Only do it once.

 

Drinkers are 2 shallow dishes. One with crumb and the other water. Water quickly gets filled with crumb and cack and is changed almost twice daily.

 

Advantage is the rest of the gang, chickens ,dogs and cats get used to seeing them and they them. 

Come liberation day when mum wants no more to do with them, they then become their own little gang and either follow the rest of go their own way. 

 

Good luck.

I wasn't aware geographical location was relative to whether you shit in your drinking water or not, I was just giving a tip on animal husbandry. 

In the past I have reared over a thousand chicks, you should be able to look after 2, but we'll see eh?🐔

Forgive me, I'm just being flippant. Tip gratefully received.

Three of my four new additions from the British Hen Welfare Trust.

settled in very well and prolific egg layers. Not shy at all - were obviously well looked after and handled to be so tame
