New baby chicks! Here's the setup for the first 3 weeks inside.
On March 28 we got 5 new chicks!! 3 are “Columbian Cross” and 2 are “Americauna,” a version of Aracauna, the ones that lay pastel colored eggs.
They are all female and will be added to our current flock of 7 laying hens. These should start laying in 5 months or so…maybe in August.
Getting bigger...but afraid of their first plate of greens!
They need a heat lamp (this one is red) for the first couple of weeks to keep the temperature at 85-90 degrees.
