Here's the brooder! I'm adding the bedding later on. I've cleaned the feeders and waterers but I'm adding them when I add the bedding

Do you think I'll need a lid?

Youll be good for a couple weeks.. they are SOOOO TINY when they hatch.. they will be cuddling. But when they start testing their wings.. then you should cover it.

Ok in this first pic, they are all only 2 days old.. the two on the right are silkies for reference, and minnie was just tiny compared to them!

Here is another at 2 days old...


Here they are at 4 days old:

It was funny to see her trying to cuddle under them, as though they were so much older!

And at 6 days.. still tiny!!

And at 16 days... becoming mama's favorite
