CHICKS 2021

Welcome to the 2021 chick season with 

360 Hardware & Rental!

We have everything that you will need to raise healthy and happy Chicks!  Here are some of things that you will need before you purchase your chicks:

• Brooder Tank or Enclosure to house your chicks
• Heat lamp and heat bulb or Heat pads approx 95 degrees
• Waters and feeders that will fit in you tank
• Shavings to line the bottom
• Starter feed: 20% protein to start
• Chick grit to help with digestion (NATIONAL SHORTAGE)
• Electrolytes and probiotics (are wonderful to add)

CARE FOR NEW CHICKS...

1) BROODER TEMPERATURES . A BROODER IS THE CONTAINED SPACE FOR YOUR NEW BABIES. PLEASE IF YOU HAVE A POULTRY WARMER OR LIGHT PLEASE TURN IN ON BEFORE YOU LEAVE HOME. WE ARE MORE THAN HAPPY TO SELL YOU THE NEEDED ITEMS HOWEVER....FIRST THING FIRST... GET THEM STRAIGHT HOME AND IN A HEATED LOCATION. MOST FRESH CHICKS NEED TO BE AROUND 95 DEGREES AND YOU CAN DROP THE TEMPARTURE BY ABOUT 5 DEGREES A WEEK. REMEMBER COLD BIRDS WILL HUDDLE, TO HOT WILL PANT.... THEY SHOULD BE ACTIVE AND MOVING

2) FOOD AND WATER NEEDS.... WE SELL MEDICATED, NON MEDICATED, AND NON GMO CERTIFIED ORGANIC FEED.  WE ALSO SELL PROBIOTIC AND ELECTROLYTE WATER SOLUBLE ADDITIVE.  CHICKS NEED GRIT SINCE A NATIONAL SHORTAGE A VERY VERY SMALL PINCH OF PLAY SAND MIXED INTO FEED WILL WORK.

****JUST BECAUSE A FEED IS LISTED AS NON GMO DOESN'T NECESSARILY MEAN THAT IT IS ORGANIC.  ORGANIC CERTIFICATION IS THE HIGHEST QUALITY STANDARD IN FEED.  NON GMO CAN HAVE PESTICIDES SPRAYED ALL OVER THEIR CROPS. KNOW WHAT YOU ARE BUYING. IF YOU WANT ORGANIC FEED LOOK FOR A NON GMO & ORGANIC STAMP.****  

CHICKS CAN HAVE ANY OF THE ABOVE... TURKEY, DUCKLING, AND GAME FOWL NEEDS ARE DIFFERENT. 

I USED TO PAY & GET ALL BIRDS VACCINATED; HOWEVER, SOME CUSTOMERS IN ORDER TO BE 100% ORGANIC DID NOT WANT THIS OPTION...IN AN EFFORT TO MAKE AS MANY OF YOU HAPPY AS I COULD, I STOPPED THE VACCINATION PROCESS. MOST VACCINATIONS ARE NOT GIVEN TO DAY OLD CHICKS, PLEASE SEGREGATE YOUR BABIES, THEY HAVE NEVER SEEN AN ACTUAL CHICKEN SINCE THEY WERE HATCHED IN AN INCUBATOR FROM CERTIFIED HATCHERIES. WE START ALL OUR BIRDS ON ONLY THE BEST FEED... RIGHT NOW WE ARE FEEDING A MIX OF THE HIGHEST QUALITY CERTIFIED ORGANIC FEED AND NON MEDICATED FEED.  WE ARE LEAVING IT UP TO YOU TO DECIDE IF YOU WANT TO MEDICATE OR NOT.  

3.) BE CAREFUL MIXING BIRDS FROM DIFFERENT SOURCES....
THE BIRDS WE SELL COME FROM  NPIP FACILITIES  
THIS IS TO CERTIFY THAT THE HATCHERIES PARTICIPATE IN THE NATIONAL POULTRY IMPROVEMENT PLAN...
THEY ARE US PULLORMUM-TYPHOID CLEAN, H5/H7 AI CLEAN , AND FROM SALMONELLA MONITORED FLOCK 

THESE BIRDS HAVE NOT BEEN EXPOSED TO FULL SIZE FOWL

4.) PASTY BUTT... WELL JUST PART OF LIFE COMING FROM A HATCHERY, SOME BABIES HAVE IT SOME NEVER DO.  ITS A LITTLE PROBLEM KEEPING THEIR VENT CLEAN... WE CLEAN AND MAINTAIN ALL BABIES WHILE HERE.. ITS YOUR TURN TO DO THE SAME WHEN YOU GET YOUR BABIES HOME. CHECK EACH DAY ONCE A DAY FOR THE FIRST WEEK OR SO... IF A BABY CANT RELEASE WASTE BECAUSE OF PASTY BUTT (CLOGGED VENT) IT WILL DIE. ITS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO FEED, WATER, AND CLEAN YOUR BABIES!!! POOP HAPPENS, ITS NOT A BIG DEAL.

We carry Purina Start & Grow medicated chick feed, Flock Raiser feed (non-medicated) and  New Country Organics Starter Feeds.

Our Chicks are shipped to us mid-week and arrive A COUPLE DAYS LATER , I will post as soon as they are ready for new homes. ON FACEBOOK. YOU SHOULD STILL BE ABLE TO ACCESS OUR PAGE EVEN IF YOU AREN'T A FACEBOOK MEMBER. GOOGLE 360 HARDWARE AND THEIR IS A LINK TO OUR FB PAGE.  SORRY, I DON'T HAVE TIME TO CHECK IN CHICKS ANSWER QUESTIONS AND POST THE LIST IN MULTIPLE PLACES.     Sometimes the chicks need a little extra time to warm up and rest from their cold journey AND WE OCCASIONALLY PUT A HOLD ON SALES UNTIL THEY ARE READY TO GO TO FOREVER HOMES.

We sell chicks min of 6 or more for first purchase from us per calendar year .  Chicks are flock birds and are much happier and healthier when in a flock.  This also helps keep them warm.  Our Chicks are not returnable and not refundable.  MEAT BIRD min. 10.  DUCK MIN 4 GUINEA MIN 4, GEESE 2 OR 3 DUCKS AND 1 GOOSE.   

We try to only sell healthy and happy chicks but, please inspect your chicks before they leave the store.  Make sure that your chicks are not Lethargic (sleepy), sitting all by them selves in the bin, are energetic. We are more than happy to help you select birds.   

  

Remember everything with chicks is fluid.  Hopefully we will get what has been ordered!    We  get deliveries every week of different breeds and species.
