hi...
i just clicked on the link to the brochure, and it's missing the TEMPERATURE INFORMATION for keeping the chicks warm... says ..."temperature fahrenheit" with no number...

Yes, that is a problem but we don't have the origional document, so if someone can modify the PDF, and resubmit it, that would be great!

One of my brothers bought 2 dyed chicks one year when he was about 7 yr. old because Mom wouldn't let him have a dog. She figured they would die from previous experience with Easter biddies. We knew nothing about chickens. He kept them in a shoe box at first and slept with that box under the sheets. When they were too big for that, he place them in a larger cardboard box which he kept by his bed with a regular table lamp in the box with the chicks for heat. We caught him in the bathtub with them too many times to count! LOL! He would dry them with the hair dryer. Long story short, they both turned out to be beautiful huge white roosters! They lived a long time and all he fed them was cheap dry dog food. I believe God was looking after my brother and the roosters. They were truly bonded. Eventually they did live outside where they free ranged all day and roosted on a shelf in the garage in winter and on the front porch rail in the summer.

airmom1c05 , that is precious, now that is what it is all about, if people treated their Easter chickies like that we would not have to have this post.

Ask a 7 yo today to do that, not too many.

Yes, you are so right! I think younguns today and even back then generally loved the chicks to death holding them too much. My brother had a learning disability which was more than likely dislexia before anyone ever heard of it before, but God blessed him with more common sense and a bigger heart than most.

I kind of got that impression from your loving words. The nurturing he did is a sign of that. God did bless him not only for those chicks but for a loving sister.
