"You will need to raise any day olds in a brooder.....another piece of moderately expensive equipment, involving  specialised heat emitters etc, unless you go for a home made one.  There is plenty of info for you to google about these. \n  \nIf you go for this option, be sure to get chicks of an auto sexing variety, ie that can be sexed on sight because of their colouring.  Otherwise you will still have the problem of what to do with the boys, as ordinary day old chicks are sold unsexed. \n  \nThey need to be kept indoors in the brooder, slowly being weaned off the heat, before they can go outdoors.  at this stage, they make a terrible mess, with dander everywhere as they shed their chicky fluff and grow proper feathers. \n  \nThe  chicks must most definitely be raised apart from the other hens,  who would  attack and kill them, I am afraid. \n  \nYou would have to keep them separate until they are at point of lay and then introduce  them slowly. **click**. \n  \nThere is an awful lot to think about.  \n"
