Hi there,
Super new to chickens and back yard chicken site. We just picked up 6 americauna chicks this morning. I have read several websites on "chicks 101". I sure hope I do not do anything wrong. My kids would be devastated! Lol. I did warn them that not all chicks survive and that we are new to raising chickens. My husband and I have three children. Two boys and one girl. The kids were thrilled with our little surprise when they came home from school! Is there such a thing as holding them too much? I let them hold them for a while then put them back into our home made brooder to see if they want to warm up. We have the light set up on one side and the food and water on the other so they can go back and forth if they feel hot or cold. Anyway, if there is some sort of advice that most forget to mention, I would appreciate your shout out.
Thanks, the nervous newbie LOL
