Hi there--We live in Alamo, CA and got our first chicks last weekend. We have a buff orpington, a rhode island red, a black orloff and a Ameraucana--they are so cute!
So far so good in the brooder--just figured out this morning as they were kicking the shavings into their water that it was...
Just got 4 little ones last week. Everything is going ok, but how do you socialize them? I don't want them to feel harassed, but when I put my hand in the brooder, they run! I tried giving them one small spinach leaf torn up and they seems to like that--but is it ok to even give them anything...
