My DH is kind of a no-chicks-in-the-house guy, too...so we compromised, and they are in the laundry room. He has dust allergies, and with 4 chicks (that's how many we have, also) he has had no issues...which may only serve to tell you how often HE goes in the laundry room.

They have been here @ three weeks, and there really doesn't seem to be a lot of dust...and no smell! I started with paper towels and switched to pine shavings after a day or two.

Good luck with your babies! Looking forward to pictures!!

Well we got them home and they are settled into their little rubbermaid brooder. Somehow I brought home 5 instead of 4 . . . . . that crazy chicken math again, LOL!

if they're baby babies, keep them in the house or something
an insalated(sp?) room with a heat lamp should be just fine
