Hi everyone, I am expecting four chicks to hatch from the 6 eggs I currently have in my incubator.
Could anyone give me an idea of how quickly NHR chicks grow and how long the 4 of them should be able to comfortably remain in the brooder (a large plastic storage container circa 30" x 16")?
The weather in Scotland is terrible and I want to keep them indoors as long as possible to give them the best chance.
Another silly question, but how noisy are 4 chicks likely to be. If they are in another room, are they likely to keep my 10 months old daughter awake who is in the room next door?
I've found it difficult to find a comprehensive guide to NHRs online. Anyone know of any good sites or points of reference?
Many thanks,
Gary.
