So now that they are finally here, I have to pick them up today afterwork, What else do I need?? I am picking them up 2 or 3 of them (RIR's) and the chick feed. I have a lamp, waterer and feed holder, newspaper and paper towels for the box, using a big fish tank for a few days to hold them then using a bigger box , I have to build my coop asap too lol How did y ou judge the temp? Do I need a thermometer too?? anything else?? I cant even think straight LOL
Thank you!!! lol, I am excited my son will be too, he has been waiting and waiting, patience is not one of his virtues lol I just hope I get there before they closed, I cant leave work early today..... I did tell them I would be there and to hold some aside for me. What kind of thermometer is best?
MMMWWWWAAAAAAAHHHHHAHAHAHA ANOTHER ONE FALLS VICTUM TO THE DREADED " FUZZY BUTT FEVER " !!!!!! A big congratulations to you and have a blast with those babies. Trudy
pretty much any thermometer will work. You can probably get a cheap one at the same feedstore you are getting the chicks from. Are you sure you can't leave work early?? You are looking pale, are you sure you feel well
I have been coughing and sneezing for about 2 hours now, I dont think it will happen. I am the go to girl and I have a meeting later int he day cant resc, he is from out of state and confirmed with me this am before the store called...... sniff sniff achoo. Maybe if I cough in his direction he will leave early ...hmmmm....
I am nervous about them being home by themselves during the day, I have to work so does my dh and ds has school, So they will be alone from 7.45am to 3 pm, do you think they will be okay? I could run home at lunch to check on them. Please say they will be okay. I am nervous about them.
New babies?? Chicks? Do you have hens that lay? or are you using a brooder? Either way congrats to you!
