My family and I moved to my wife's grandparents small farm that has been vacant for about a year and a half. Moved there last September and I remodeled the house completely so it's been very busy. We have been taking care of her uncles chickens, they live just down the road, and now we are starting our own flock. My almost 4 year old daughter and 18 month old son are thrilled! I bought 12 last night and surprised them with them. I'm almost done with the coop and run. They will primarily be free range and we are excited to see them grow!
Anyway, glad to be on here and receive all the advice! Unfortunately, we had a causality last night and not sure why but I heard that's not all that uncommon. Maybe the little fella just got too stressed by the move. It's about 85 in the brooder so maybe I need it a little warmer but I think the chicks are probably at least a week and a half old.
