These chicks are just a few hours old and already expert at using the brooder bottle cap system.
Make sure chicks have enough water - use two containers if necessary.
But wait - what do we need to have available for them to eat and drink?
Baby chickens can survive without food or water for up to 72 hours after hatching - the yolk, which they absorb in the hours before hatch, provides all the nutrition they need.
But after that (actually, I tend to move them out as soon as they've fluffed up, and certainly no longer than 48 hours) they will need both.
Be sure you have supplies well in advance. Don't wait until your chicks are in the brooder - plan ahead!
In this article, we'll look at what chicks from one day old need to drink, the importance of keeping it clean, and how it's best to provide it in order to keep your chicks safe.

Baby chicks need to drink water. Simple.
Without it, they will dehydrate and die very, very quickly. All you need to do is make sure it's kept plentiful, clean and fresh.
But that can be easier said than done. Chicks tend to kick their bedding and food all over the place - including into their water. And they can perch on the edge of water containers and poop into it.
All of which can make the water dirty. And the last thing you need is chicks picking up bacteria from their water supply.
There are two basic options available: a ground waterer and a hanging bottle system.
Personally, I use the hanging system, but let's look at the pros and cons of each, starting with the basic ground waterer.
The inexpensive option is to put some fresh water in a bowl and leave the chicks to it.
The problem with that is that chicks are naturally inquisitive. And inquisitive chicks can easily fall into bowls of water, and drown.
So if that's your only option, put something in the bowl to prevent that happening. Some clean pebbles are a good idea - the kind you'd use for a terrarium, for example. Do not buy dyed stone - they dye will leach into the water. This kind of natural, polished stone is fine.
The mason jar waterer is my choice for a ground based product. It's not cheap (at least in Europe), but it will last much longer than the plastic style.
And OK, I admit it - I just like the way it looks.
The problem with any kind of ground drinking system is that baby chickens kick . A lot. They kick shavings, they kick food, they kick anything that gets underneath their feet.
It's in their nature. They're just experimenting with foraging.
So it's quite difficult to keep the water clean. You'll find yourself clearing out the dish several times a day. If you don't, the danger is that the water will become infected - and so will the chicks.
There is also a small risk of tiny chicks drowning even in this dish. Again, it's easily avoided by adding a few pebbles.
The best way to avoid all the problems with ground waterers, though, is simple - use a hanging system.
I used to use a bottle waterer which hangs from the side of the brooder .
It's made from 'Brooder Bottle Caps' from 'The Chicken Fountain '. It's a simple nipple attachment, screwed into an everyday soda bottle.The chicks tap the nipple and, as if by magic, water drips out!
It works a treat - my littlies always get the hang of drinking from it immediately they're introduced into the brooder at just a few hours old, and can't wait to use it ever after.
Sadly, these are no longer available to buy, and the ones I had somehow got lost.
So I had to find an alternative - and did. It's this one ( make sure to click on the $20.99 model, which includes the water bottle and base , otherwise trying to find the right size can be difficult ).
I also have the feeder version of this waterer which I love just as much - they are exactly the right size for a brooder box. Again, make sure you choose the one which includes the feeder bottle as well as the harness which is $20.99 - for some reason I can't link to it direct.
As soon as you take a chick out of the incubator, dip her beak into the water if you're using a ground system, or tap her beak against the waterer if using a hanging system.
You only need to do this once - chicks are very quick learners.
Just keep an eye on them for a day or two to make sure that everyone is getting their fair share. It's very important that they all keep hydrated, otherwise you're likely to get issues like pasty butt , which can be fatal.
I have an entire article about apple cider vinegar, the claims made for it, the research findings which evidence exactly what it is and is not useful for, and how to offer it to your flock.
It can seem like a minefield when you first raise chicks: what's good to feed them at what age, what's not good, what treats are healthy for them ...
