I wonder what cute photoshoots I can do with these chicks...

Props are fun. My daughter did a photo shoot with teddy bears last spring. Flowers are cute, too.You just have to work fast so the chicks don’t get cold.
Basically have everything set up in advance, place the chicks, snap photos quickly and then put the chicks back in the brooder.

Usually on hatch day, I leave the chicks in the incubator until dry, or if they're starting to get mean! Place them in the brooder which is in the spare/guest room. After they're warm, I take them to the bed (covered with an old blanket) and let them snuggle up against me for warmth
