After doing all the homework, legwork, and build work.... "The Day" finally arrived. I drove down to Cameron (Ideal Poultry) and picked up a dozen Buff Brahma Bantam chicks. They went into the brooder when I got home with them and everyone is doing fine this morning

We're hoping we have 3 or 4 pullets out of the dozen chicks... but time will tell.
