    He's only 4 days old today... :lau The stork brought me 7 chicks on Tuesday from MyPetChicken, 3 of them BOs, one male and two females. He's been named Prince Poppycock.

    @LateStarter - love the idea of putting vents near the bottom. I wouldnt have thought that a good idea, but with your explanation, it makes perfect sense! We'll definitely incorporate them in. Thanks for the tip! @uzisuzuki - I never realized humidity could be such a problem for them here...

    The four at home now are (I think): one White Sex-Link, one Brown or Speckled Sussex, one Silver-laced Wyandotte (i hope, i hope, i hope!), and one chocolate brown mystery chick. Im pretty confident they are all females, but the sales girl at Big R wasnt too convincing regarding their breeds...

    :goodpost: Thank you so very much for your reply. We had not planned to insulate initially, as I had read somewhere that chickens acclimate to their surrounding temperatures pretty well on their own. Then, of course, I had come across another article recently that emphasized how important it...
