I just wanted to say last night went a lot better. The kids did not hear them making any noise last night. So hopefully they will be fine for another few weeks. I will probably move them on out to the coop in a brooder in the next week or two.

Yeah, I know about missing hearing the noises of the chicks. I missed my girls after I moved them out to the coop. That is one reason why I wanted more not the only reason but one. I really do know they grow up fast. I look at 5 week old pullets they will be turning 6 weeks this week. So I...

Yeah, we will try a red light tonight and see if it makes a difference. I'm still going put them in the other bathroom tonight.

We have a True Value, but the guy that runs it seems like some of his prices are crazy. I just said over $13 for a light clamp and then the light bulb was over $3. That might not seem like that much. But really did not think we would be paying that much.

I will see what I can do about getting them a red light. I wish dollar general had them. That is lot closer then Wal Mart.

Quote: I do not think they are cold. Because if they were I think they would be doing the peeping day and night. This not the case. They are just doing all the peeping at night and it was none stop last night. I just think they are sleeping to much during the day and getting there day and...

Quote: They look like they are nice. I looked them up after someone else said something about them. But I really can not afford to buy one or two at this time. I will just try and get a red bulb.

Quote: Thankyou:) I'm trying not let other opinions get to me. I am trying do the best for my chicks. I am lucky my husband lets the chicks stay inside and has been pretty understanding of my feelings. I will do what I think is best for my chicks. But like I said I do appreciate all of the...

Quote: Thanks so much for your suggestion of using a dog crate as a brooder. I will see if I get some cardboard for it to put on the outside. Really my husbands building is not a option all. There is just way to much stuff in there. I don't think he would let me put them anyways. I really do...

Umm..the reason I did not build them a place outside is because we kept our other chicks inside until our coop was done. I really do not see a problem with keeping them in the bathroom other then the noise and the mess they make. I'm not trying to be rude. Really I'm not. I just don't...

lol...we got 10 chicks this time so it might be why they are so much noiser. We had 6 the first time which are the 5 week old pullets but sadly lost one and now have 5-5 week old pullets and the 10- 5 day or 1 week old chicks. I really have not idea when the new chicks were born.

To be honest I did not think about using a red light. We don't have very many stores in our small town. We do have a wal mart near us but it is like 40-45 mins from here just depends on traffic. Yes, I do worry about the snakes and stuff but luckly we have not seen any around our house yet. But...

I was thinking they might keep the older chicks awake to with all their noise. I think I'm going have to find a red light bulb. I have no idea where. Since we live in a dinky little town. Ugh. Does any one know how much hardwear cloth is? Sorry for all the questions. I have no idea.

Thanks so much for all of the suggestions and comments. I sure do appreciate it. With our 5 week old pullets, I should say almost 6 week old pullets. There noise did not bother us really because they was mostly quite during the night. But they sure could stink up the bathroom fast. They have...

Ridgerunner- I really like your set up. It is really nice. Thanks so much for your help. I will see what I can get set up for them. Here is what I'm talking about my dog kennel kind of looks like this. It is not the same brand...

The problem is we don't really have a good neutral spot in here. We live in a small house. The kitchen is really no option either as it is right near our bedroom too. Plus it is really small. lol, no no they are not running loose. Like I said they are in a plastic tub, tote, tupper wear...

Thanks, Ridgerunner for your suggestion. We do have electric out in our coop and my husband's outbuilding. His building his full of stuff though no room for them. I am seriously thinking about putting them in the coop. I know lot of people may not agree with it. But it might be our only option...

Thanks for the suggestions. I might just try find a red light bulb. Do you think yellow might work too? Instead of a clear one?

They are not in our bedroom. They are in our master bath. No we do not have a laundry room our washer/dryer is in our master bath too. The only other room we could use is the kids bathroom. We do have a light on them but not a red one. But it still makes no sense to me if they are sleeping...
