I think you've got a great plan. Well done! I really like the idea of having the big girls see them right off the bat. Should make integrations nice and easy.

On another note, my feed store had Cream Brabanters yesterday, which I had never heard of. The gal googled them and I ended up bringing home five pullet chicks. I had literally (the day before) just taken the PCs and Hamburgs out of the brooder and moved them to the transition coop. I've got problems, man. In my defense, look at them!!!View attachment 1754789 View attachment 1754790 View attachment 1754793 View attachment 1754794 View attachment 1754795

I just googled those because I thought that I hadn't heard of them either. I'd forgotten about them. I had them written down on my list of breeds when I first considered getting chicks. They are a neat looking bird with their spikey hair and beards.

That could probably work! I didn’t even think of that. Although I’m having a little visualizing exactly what part to cut lol

When the basket is set upright....cut right at the back corners and down the corner to release the sides. Then turn it upside down on a solid surface and slowly bend out the sides and back til you get the correct height you want. Chick might enter the basket thru the corners or thru the "front". That would be determined by how you attach the heating pad to the basket.

We want pictures of those fluffies!

I get to the post office and say I’m here for the chicks, not thinking there would be more than one, and they say which one? Cause apparently 3 boxes came in at the same time who would have thought?

Also started talking to some people who were super excited about it. One lady used to have them and was so excited and one was just fascinated lol

Don't forget to enclose the mhp so a chick doesn't get stuck again.
What happened to the other mhp?
