wfynn Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Hi everyone! My first ever eggs have just started pipping this morning - very exciting! SO far five our of six, so crossing fingers for a happy, health batch of Lavender Pekin Bantams. I've got the brooder ready and have some Easichick Bedding to use from when they're a few days old. But wanted to see what else everyone used for new chicks? I planned to use paper towel for the first few days while they're still adjusting.

UpstateChick Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Paper towel for the first couple of days to observe their legs then (large flake) pine shavings. Good luck! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wfynn Posted July 20, 2021 Author Share Posted July 20, 2021 Thanks! Just heard one cheeping from inside the egg. So sweet! Can't wait to meet them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is exactly what I do. Kitchen roll for at least the first week and then easichick wood chip. I have chicks that are a week old today and I will be switching them to easichick at the weekend. So exciting when you hear them cheep from the egg! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
