In the Brooder
Hello friends, I'm a new chicken mama and just added 6 babies: a Barnevelder, Buff Orpington, GLW, SLW, BCM, and Columbian Wyandotte. Got them from Meyer Hatchery a week ago. They are 8 days old now and seem to be thriving. I made a brooder out of a large dog crate, cardboard, and hardware cloth. I'll keep them inside for at least another week, then (if weather permits) move to a small coop in the garage and (eventually) integrate with my 2 older hens in larger coop/run outside. I'll try to share photos and video for your enjoyment. So grateful for all I've learned here!!
