It's my first night with chickens. My barred Plymouth Rock girls are all in the brooder and I keep checking on them constantly. Any advice?

Stay calm and enjoy them. You will not believe how fast they grow

Welcome to BYC! Please make yourself at home and we are here to help.

As long as they have food, water and warmth, they should be fine.

Well all is well here. We lost two chicks after the first couple of days. My three old boy took it hard so I replaced the two we lost with two americaunas. All has been well since then and they are growing fast!
