We’re getting our chicks on Friday and my daughter wants to bring them to school and the teacher has approved. A few questions:
1. How old should the chicks be before I bring them to school?
2. Can they be away from the heat for 90 minutes?
3. If I have to transport them with the heat, do I bring the whole brooder? If they don’t need heat, what can I bring them in? A box?
4. Aside from lots of hand washing and going over gentle handling rules, etc. is there anything else I should be sure to tell the kids?
5. Is there anything else I should be sure to have for the 90 mins they’re potentially out of the brooder?
Sorry to sound silly, but I want the chicks to still be young enough to be easy to handle, but not too young to get sick.
