It is our first time with chickens too. We are really loving it. So cute. Some are very quiet when you hold them and some just cry and want to be put back down. We are trying not to hold them to often, but let them see us, through the clear plastic brooder all the time. 1 cries when we leave the room. When we come back, it stops. It is really funny to see the little EEs. trying to go under the Cornish chicks. They will even try and stand under them when the others are eating. They are not cold, brooder is 94.8. I think they are just trying to hide under a momma.
Oh well, need to clean this brooder out again. They really do poop a lot!!!
Oh yeah...my husband was ok with our daughter's and I having chickens. He even said he would build the coop, but the care of them was our responsibility. Well...yesterday, he helped me clean the brooder and move the chicks to a holding box. Of course he talks to each one, removed a small piece of poop from one, and just enjoyed helping me. He watches them all the time too. How could anyone not? They are just too cute!
