How to look after a baby chicken

This is 'Zeus!' He/she hatched only a few days ago, and I get to look after him/her!

You need a fairly large box with high sides, (they can jump!) and line it with towels or blankets

You will need fresh water daily, in a shallow dish

And food! This is just a pellet mix, that you can just get at pet stores.

You might want a few sticks to entertain your fluffy friend!

Don't forget the lid! I have a flap on mine for easy access.

You will need a lamp with a 'hot' bulb. I forgot what they are called, but they are just ones that heat up easily.

You'll need a hole for the light

Oh no! Zeus messed his/her home up!

Hopefully, you would have already lined the bottom of the box with a few sheets of newspaper! So all you need to do, is throw them in the bin and replace them!

Now replace all of the stuff.

Zeus is happy with his/her clean home!

No Zeus, don't walk in your food!

By the way, if you want a pet chick, they can be quite loud, and need a lot of attention!
