The baby chicks arrived last Friday (May 18th). 12 of them altogether from 4 different breeds. They are all brown egg layers. Kay made a coop out of cardboard of 12 inches high. We also bought a 1-gallon waterer, feeder and Purina chick starter for them too. I have hooked up a heat lamp to privde the required 90F temperature. The kids love holding and touching the chicks. We have to clean the waterer everyday and add new wood shavings. We are waiting to build a compost bin to hold the soiled shavings.
