    Thanks to you all! Baby is a true delight to all of us. He's loving having a big brother and sister to site in him!

    Thanks for the offer @daskhan. We have a brooder set-up though! The original buyer didn't but dropped them off with a man who got them to us. Turned out pretty okay because I SWORE to Husband I wouldn't buy any until spring but I was getting chicken fidgets!
