I hope these pics show up. I'm not sure how to post pics. Anyway I got these from my local feed store, I was lucky they got some this late in the spring. I'm using an old rabbit cage that I had after I washed it with a water and bleach solution. They are 3 or 4 days old according to the lady that sold them to me. I can only get the cage up to 90` but I think that's ok because they don't sleep right under the heat lamp. must be a little too warm. They are Buff Orpingtons.

Ahh! how sweet! they are precious! They look happy, just make sure they can't squeeze through any of the holes in the fence. we tried using our dog kennel as a temporary set up, (buff orp's) and they were trying to squeeze through the holes, if they can, try lining it with cardboard to keep them from getting hurt. I would'nt worry too much about the temp only being 90. if they huddle together under the light I would, but they look fine. Good Luck!
 
I'm going to hunt up some cardboard and put it around the bottom of the cage, but they haven't tried sticking thier heads through yet, but thanks for the advice anyway.
