They are almost 4 weeks old today but will have to bring them up from the barn. The waterers will freeze b/c it is going down below zero again for the next 3 nights. Ugh!!! These chicks have had a tumultuous start in life.

Well the weather is in the low 30's now and in the teens at night and the chicks are doing well. I felt underneath the hen and the chicks seemed warm and snug. the weather is dropping this week into the low 20's and just above the zero mark. The chicks will be close to 4 weeks old. I'll...

Ok...will give her 21days...if nothing happening, back in the coop.
