New chicks!

Sorry we have not posted in a while, but tomorrow we get new chicks.  Important things to have before your chicks arrive are a safe box to keep them in, some bedding, a water tray with rocks so they dont drown, and a contaner to keep their food in. We are naming our birds after Doctor Who companions. Their names will be Rose, River, Donna, Amy, Clara, and Martha.

We needed to put beding in so they would be comfy.

Also it is important to make sure the chicks are kept warm. We put a heat lamp over the brooder so they will be warm. We have to keep the temperature at 36 degrees Celsius for the first week.

Chicks are very cute, but they are a big responsibility. They will grow very fast.

They have a small perch and some toys.

We think it is cool that our chicks have been born on Star Wars Day.
