We have an order of 25 brown egg layers coming from McMurray next week and my six year old daughter and I are breathlessly counting down the days until their arrival. We were returning some 250 watt bulbs today (way too hot, we got 100 watt instead) and the feed store had five day old Americaunas! Little chipmunk-like babies! All eating and pooping beautifully without a pasty butt among them, and us with a brooder set up and just waiting at home. Somehow we walked out with four.
They seem very happy, although I'm having a hard time getting the temp under the light below about 100 degrees. They're in our office, which stays really warm because of the computers and a window that gets lots of sun.
