Nena and I went to Linnton Feed & Seed today and picked up two Ameraucana chicks and two black Australorps... or at least we THINK that's what we got. They're about two or three days old, and they are just getting used to this idea of eating food, drinking water, sleeping, and walking around.
I made a quick and easy brooder out of a 30 gallon storage bin. The reddish light in many of the photos is from the heat lamp we got at the feed store.
I highly recommend Dan and the other folks at Linnton Feed & Seed to anyone thinking about backyard livestock endeavors. Not only do they have most of what you need there on their shelves, but they dispense advice freely.
I think we'll have more on this topic soon.
