The chicks arrived on Saturday, we had one runt that was a bit shaky but it looks like she's going to pull through ok. They're all eating and skittering around in their brooder box. We need to keep them at 95 degrees for a week using a 250 watt heat lamp, we drop the temp by 5 degrees a week until they are feathered out.
I think I can hear my electric meter spinning???
We had to keep raising the lamp this weekend as it reached almost 90 outside on Saturday and it was in the 80's today.
