So I was lucky enough to find a guy in Abilene TX, That can literally almost every exotic breed imaginable.So first of all here is the list of babies we will be getting on the 25Th of April.
1 buff polish laced
1 Blue Cochin
1 Blue Frizzle
1 Silver Sea bright
1 Mottled houdan
1 Belgian bearded D'uccle- color Millie Fleur
And He told me in May he will be able to get me a Salmon Faverolle
Okay so here is the kicker. We are in NW (ish) Texas hot as blazes in the summer. Sooo we don't air condition the whole house because its just my fiancee and we kinda just hang out in the office and bedroom. So we were planning on putting these 6 Babies,In our living room (NOT AIR CONDITIONED) In a small pool from the dollar store,you could probably fit 3 human babies, or a few doggies so plenty of room for little guys. (which by the way he gets them in at 1 day old OMG)
So this is ALL NEW for me. That living room gets hot Does anyone know the ideal temp to keep babies and up to how many weeks. I honestly cannot imagine them being in that kiddie pool with the heat and a heat lamp would cook my lil babies
Any and ALL tips will be sooo appreciated. just never have dealt with anything so young. When we got our first batch of babies they were ohhh maybe 4 months. Also when is a good age to introduce them to the other chickens.
I am sooo sure I am going to have 1,218 questions before the 25th. I love you all, and I Love Love Love BYC!!!
Thanks for all help in advance ~Lisa
