Hi All,
I am eagerly awaiting the arrival of Buff Oprington chicks at my local feed store this coming weekend. They receive different chicks weekly but, this is the breed I would like to start with. So in my quest to learn about raising backyard chickens (between being a busy mom to a 15-month-old) and working part-time I completely forgot that we have a camping trip scheduled the first weekend in March!
So my question is, what would I do with 2 baby chicks while we are away for two nights? Does anyone have advice? I certainly DO NOT want to compromise their health by having someone come to check on them once a day, would I bring them camping
or should I just hold off until I am able to commit to being here with them for several months before venturing out?
What would you do? My husband scheduled the camping trip as a part of a Christmas gift to finally use the tent he bought me last year, I think he would feel pretty bad if I cancelled so that's not an option.
