Newbie to raising chicks

[countrymart]

I went to atwoods and bought 2 yellow and 2 black babies. Learned on here how to brood and now they are outside in a chicken tractor I constructed from barn stuff. They love it but I am watching the temp close because it will drop again this week. It dropped into the 40's last night and I kept going out in shorts and tee so I could get a figure on temp to check and they were happy. They were used to me bringing them in every night but resisted the attempt lol. Loves to be petted or at least one does and the others get close to watch but no touchee!! New feathers are on Don't really know how to navagate this site yet so this is my update..Got all the right food and bought diatomasious today if thats how it is spelled? Clean is all I really can say and I am a clean freak. Lady at store said chickens are the easiest to raise and so far she is right. What are they I really don't even know except they are pullets. Thanks byc
