Brand new chicks!

[bigbird1219]

My boyfriend and I just bought two 4 1/2 week old chickens. We've never had an animal like these. They are very cute and we are very excited. But like I said we've never done anything like this. Any suggestions for us?
Having trouble with keeping them warm and with bedding.

-Thanks!

They need a light over them to keep them warm until their feather come in. As far as bedding, you can get pine shavings. You can even buy the pine shavings in the pet isle at Walmart. Just don't use cedar, it's bad for them.
