    Thank you. im set up in the garage currently—temp in there is holding steady around 60. The weather forecast looks like we will be mainly in the 60 deg range for the next week, but it’s still dipping into the 20s at night. I could run electricity out there, but I don’t think I’d sleep a wink!

    Bah! Now I’m looking at others baby chick pics and wondering why I ordered six of the same breed. How are we ever going to tell them apart?!🤦🏼‍♀️

    Thank you! That sounds like my plan with beak dipping and paper towels the first days. I’ll stop by tracto supply for larger pine shavings and grit. Should I get the nutri drench, too, or is it redundant? I have unmedicated crumbles (lost my trust in medicine!) Oh, I also have a big bag of...

    I have Hydro Hen, organic chick crumbles, a mirror, apple cider vinegar, the pine shavings. I have a lid for this bin which I can modify with hardware cloth for flightyness.

    6 barred rocks are hatching tomorrow and then making the (one state) journey to their happy home with us. I’m suddenly nervous that the brooder space is too small. Do I need to make a quick change? This bin is 28”x18” (the feed and water are chick size and arriving with them) What else should I...
