Well the chicks are growing very quickly. They are very curious and are even trying to use their wings a bit! We now have a screen over the top of their newly enlarged brooder. Their first week the temperature in their breeder needed to stay at 95 degrees. Starting on Monday we will keep the temperature at 90 degrees. We will decrease it by 5 degrees each week until they are ready to go outside at approximately five weeks!
This little chicks name is Toy, she is really a sweetie! This is the chick my daughter has been working with to tame.
Happy Gardening and Farming! We will keep updating the status of the chicks on their journey!

Mindy, they are so cute. And they do grow so fast! We really like our Buffs and I suspect you will too.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear that the Buffs are a good choice from someone who knows! We look forward to them growing up! Mindy
DeleteI. WANT. CHICKENS!! My HOA would freak out and the chickens would kick my dogs butts. Yours look so sweet.
ReplyDeleteWe live out in the country far enough that we will not be bothering anyone with our chickens! However, we will have to be extra cautious of predators! Mindy
DeleteOh Mindy they are so precious...wish we had some!!
ReplyDeleteMy husband just put a branch in their brooder and they are really enjoying climbing around on it! Having fun watching them! Happy Gardening! Mindy
DeleteI don't have any chickens but yours are cute! Nancy
ReplyDeleteWe are going to give them a try! Hopefully we can have some luck with them and get some yummy eggs! Happy Gardening! Mindy
