    I just got eight little one week old babies (i could not resist)

    Paper towels also work well--I put down a couple of layers in the brooder for the first few days, then add pine shavings on top after a week. No leg issues

    Chick temperament vs. adult temperament

    My kiddos and I are loving and gentle to our wee brood of seven, but the little things are still skittish when we approach. I read another thread about this and plan to utilize some of the ideas to "tame" them a bit, but I worry about a couple of things: that the skittishness will persist to...
