My portable brooder and new chicks.

[spankyleatherlips]

I have my chicks in the house during the day and move them to the mudroom at night. I have yet to start building my outdoor coop and run (they are still in the box). I hope everyone likes the setup. My doxies have been very well behaved thus far. I am acclimating all my dogs, and cats before the chicks are ready for outdoors. I added roosting posts and took out the long chick feeder and put a mason jar feeder in instead. I hope to have new pictures soon.

That's a great set up. The puppies seem to like it. What are your chick breeds?

I have 3 buff orpingtons, 2 barred rock,2 RIR and 3 Silver laced Wyandotts. (my spelling of chicken breeds stinks even though I work for a vet) I have 10 chicks total. They are all supposed to be pullets but I suspect one RIR is a Rooster because he is very very loud. Monday I am going to take a fecal and set it up at work to check for parasites/worms. They all seem to be healthy and happy little feezers
thank you for your reply.

Hey I'm loud and I'm not a rooster

> For the first time I have SLW I am so excited, aren't they beautiful birds? Good luck on your chicks... ours are the same age (4 days)???

Point well taken

I used to have a large flock of SLW when I had my farm. I just love them.
