We just got a batch of ten baby chicks! Two days old and they are already having a blast climbing and jumping off a little rock and sticks. This batch are all females, and are a random variety of “exotic” chickens. When their real feathers grow in it’ll be fun to figure out what breeds we got!
They are just in an XL dog crate with foil insulation around the bottom edge, and a red heat lamp hanging from the top of the crate. I don’t know if the foil actually helps retain any heat, but it does keep the chicks from escaping. It’s a high security henitentiary.
Thar’s a cheep joke.
I have to admit, I only posted because I was cracking myself up over that yolk.
