Hatching
Hello Backyard Chicken community!
My classroom just recently hatched chickens, and let me just say, the whole process was phenomenal! Our group collectively decided to keep the chickens at our school, as opposed to sending them back to the farm they came from. We have a nice sized garden that is not currently being used by any other classes, and we're planning to build a coop for them. As of now we've got them in a homemade brooder (thanks to some helpful teachers).
Three of our eggs have produced happy, healthy, baby chicks, whilst we have a few more that have pipped. This is our first time raising chickens, is there anything most new chick owners forget? Tips for coop building? Name suggestions are also welcome!
Thank you!
