I'm a newbie about to get my first chicks. My biggest concern is that I keep reading that new chicks must be checked several times per day for all the common new chick concerns. My husband and I both work, so after the first 3 days (holiday weekend), there will be 9-9.5 hour stretches most days when we won't be able to check on them. Are we dooming little chicks in this scenario? Thanks for your input!
