One of the draws to moving out of the city was to do minor homesteading. We’ve been promising the kids chickens the whole time, and now is when it’s easy to get baby chicks, so it was time.
Ellie went along with me. We got 4 Isa Browns and planned to get 4 Americunas, but some how got home with five—the fellow at the store who picked them out for us must have made a mistake!
The little fuzz balls like the brooder plate. We had them in the garage with a space heater nearby and a thermometer to monitor the temperature during the day, but we pulled them in to the laundry room at night so we didn’t need to keep checking to be sure they were warm enough.
