Chicks in the House

After bringing our new flock home we had to make room for our new family members. I picked up the biggest Rubbermaid container I could find, lined it with pine shavings, set up a feeder and waterer and move our new chicks in. Once they were inside I used an old window screen to cover the container and sat a heat lamp on top, viola instant chicken nursery. The girls spent they next 6 weeks growing up in their nursery until the chicken to available space ratio was no longer in the chickens favor. Time to move on to bigger and better things...
