[Barredrocks24]

This is when I brought then home last week, they are in a professional brooder now. I just love them! They are starting to grow feathers already!

Chicks do grow quickly, take lots of pictures!

Chicks also try out their flying skills pretty early. That's when you need a wire top on the brooder. Sometimes chicks fly to the top and either fall out or jump out and cannot back get into the warm brooder. Also the top helps keep away house pets.
