Jackie & Lisa Getting Bigger Already

Here they are on Day 3. They are getting more feathers and seem very comfortable in their new space. They grow up so fast!

    Audrey,

    Your chickens are remarkably cute! Is it really 90 degrees or more in their brooder? Is all the peeping giving you a headache?

    We are supposed to keep the area under the light at 90 degrees for the first week, and then reduce it by 10 degrees each week as the chicks get bigger and grow more feathers. They don't spend all their time under the light, but they like to snooze under it.
