Going to get the brooder set up!

Found a nice sized cardboard box, now I need to dig out the puppy pads, feeder, waterer, and heat lamp!

Thank you! I’ve loved reading that article!

I only really need one for a week or so, though, because they’re going in the outdoor tractor with the broody. Thanks though!

Oh thats perfect!
Do you think you're broody will accept week old chicks? I'd be concerned she might reject them.

Hopefully! She’s so far been a great mama, but if not I can either put them in the tractor without her (and figure out some sort of heating) or I have another half broody that’s been sitting for about 21 days. (I haven’t let her hatch anything though) she sits at night and part of the time of the day.

We'll cross our fingers!
Why can't you give them to your broody now? She hasn't been sitting for long enough?

My sister sent me a video that she had taken while I wasn’t at home. (This was one of the three That has already hatched) I took screenshots of the process.
