Ready for the Chicks
Our chicks are scheduled to arrive this week. We don't know which day; it will be either Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday. We're so excited! And, incredibly, completely ready for them. We had ordered everything we needed about a month ago, and yesterday we finally took it all out and made a cozy bed for them complete with heat lamp. It's kind of a cardboard condo. I ground up several bags' worth of leaves to use as their bedding, hopefully enough to last until they can go outside to live.
Dominique finished the outside chicken yard by putting on a door. Now we're waiting for the coop to arrive - should come next week - but we won't need it for 4-5 weeks yet.

How warm does it have to be for the chicks to be outside? Will you keep them inside for another month? I'll enjoy watching this because we expect to get chickens at some point. Not sure how many we can support and house along with the garden.
