I’m officially a chicken tender. A crazy chicken lady. Obsessed with these fluffy babies and their cheeps.
Scott and I finally decided to take the plunge. There is only so much research that can be done. We landed on a few breeds that we really wanted, and got what was available. Right now, we have Lavender Orpington chicks, and Red and Blue Wyandotte chicks. We still want to add some Barred Rock chicks to our flock, but they sell so quickly.
The girls are over-the-moon excited, and we are going to need more soap from all of the hand washing that is happening.
They are so cute, and so fluffy. Hopefully down the road we will have lots of eggs.
Here’s what we made sure to have to set up our brooder:
2X2X4 stock tank
Pine shavings
chick feeder
chick waterer
chick feed
heat lamp
