How to care for chicks

Malo lelei  bloggers, what you'll be reading is a explanation text about how to care for chicks. Hope you enjoy. 

How to care for chicks.
               Introduction
Chicks are cute little  versions of chickens and roosters. How chicks are made, chicks are made by a hen and a rooster they come from a special egg that is called a, fertilized egg. It also takes 21 days for them to hatch. If you don’t know what chicks are then this explanation text will tell you all about chicks and how to care for them.
                                 
                                Incubator
If you get fertilized eggs and there isn’t a hen, then you’ll need to get an incubator. An incubator is a machine that keeps the eggs warm and moist. How the incubator keeps the eggs warm. In the incubator on the bottom there is a water witch keeps the eggs moist, there is also a heating element and a fan which creates heat and heat plus moisture= humidity. Humidity is a good thing because it keeps the eggs warm and it also helps the chicks find it easier to hatch.
                                 

The next step is to wait very patiently for the eggs to hatch, because the eggs might not hatch. While you wait the eggs will probably have little cracks on it, and they also might hatch on the 20th day or the 21st day.

 The brooder
Once the eggs have hatched you can finally put them in this box that’s called a brooder, the brooder is like a little chicken hen but for chicks. You can only move the chicks when they are fluffy and dry they also have to go into the brooder with a buddy. In the brooder there is a 60 w bulb/heat lamp, water bell, food bowl,wood shavings,and newspaper.

                            The conclusion
So overall being a chick guarding is not easy work. But I hope this explanation text will help you out. Are you up for the challenge.
