Since we got our 6 little chickies yesterday, my research into cool chicken coop designs has kicked into high gear. I am a little obsessed with this coop with the grass roof. There is also the awesome and very modern Omlet that was a great find by my always resourceful friend Bree.
As for the babies, they are doing quite well and growing very fast! All they do right now is eat, sleep and poop, so they are really easy to care for. I have stopped constantly worrying if they are too hot or too cold. The heat lamp next to their cage keeps them at a steady 90-100 degrees. Today we got real feeding & drinking troughs for them. My favorites right now are the 2 Ameraucanas. Their feathers are already so cool looking. I can't wait to name them!
Post some pictures of the sweet little chickens!
ReplyDeleteI bet one of those chickens would be a great little "Fish Sticks!" Come on...that's a great name!
