Baby Chickens + Other Weekend Things

The weekend sure was good to us! We had some absolutely gorgeous 80 degree weather and spent tons of time outside (in t-shirts and shorts! in February!) and it was much needed. I'm always amazed at how good it feels just being able to soak up some fresh air and sunshine after being cooped up inside...it makes me feel energized and happy and it makes for a super tired kiddo at the end of the day, a total win-win!
I'll share some photos from the past few days but the highlights were definitely getting baby chickens and Jason getting a porch built on the front of the garden house/chicken coup! It quickly became our preferred picnic and snack time spot and Sadie also refers to it as "her stage" and has given us a few good performances already ;-)
She's already completely smitten with her chickens and has totally bonded with one in particular...
As soon as Sadie picks her up, she falls asleep and they'll sit like this for 30 minutes at a time. It's seriously the sweetest thing ever.
We got 8 to start (a mix of 3 different breeds) but will definitely be adding more to the family in the coming weeks. Jason plans to have their coup done in the next several days so that it's ready to go for them once they're big enough to be moved outside (in another month or so). If all goes as planned, we should start getting eggs this summer!
On Sunday we bakes scones for breakfast and then headed to a baby shower in the afternoon. I have my glucose test early Monday morning so once we got back from the shower, we had dinner, packed Sadie's bag and took her to my mom's house for a sleepover. She loves spending the night at grammy's house and I figured it would save my mom from getting up super early to come over to babysit so I could head to downtown Ft. Worth (in rush hour) for my appointment. It also gave Jason and I a free night at home so it was the perfect way to wrap up the weekend!
Hope you all had a relaxing few days as well!

How to Care for your new baby chickens in Cruger, Mississippi Baby chicks are extremely cute and also challenging to withstand, but it's ideal to plan for their arrival before you obtain them. Prepare initially by gathering not only the correct products, yet likewise the appropriate understanding to care for them. Raising baby chicks is reasonably simple, you merely need to offer them with the following: A clean and also warm and comfortable habitat A lot of food and water Attention as well as love Habitat Your habitat could be a basic box, aquarium, pet cat provider, or guinea pig cage. Line it with old towels as well as coverings (without any loosened strings!) to begin, and also after a few weeks use straw over newspaper. Keep in mind: Avoid utilizing just paper or various other slipper surfaces-- or your chicks legs could grow misshapen. You likewise require something to dish out food and also water in, such as a chicken feeder as well as water meal from the feed shop, or a pickle jar lid for food and a pet bird water dispenser from an animal store. Additionally, as the chicks grow older you can present a perch right into the environment to obtain them trained on setting down. Warmth To keep your chicks heat you have to give them with a warmth resource. This can be as straightforward as a 100 watt light bulb in a reflective clamp style light from an equipment shop, or an infrared reptile warmth bulb additionally work extremely well (my recommendation). Chicks require this warmth 24/7 up until their downy fluff is changed with feathers (which can take up to two months). The newly hatched out require a temperature in between 90 and 100 levels, and weekly this can be lowered by around 5 degrees or so. The heat resource must be on merely one side of the cage to allow chicks a variety of temperature levels. The chicks are your ideal thermometer- if they are hiding in the other corner of your heat lamp, you need to minimize the temperature. If they are smothering each other under the heat (not just curling up), you have to put some heat. Housekeeping Sanitation is essential and it keeps your chicks healthy. Make sure to change the bedding frequently as well as consistently offer clean food as well as water Food and water. Chicks expand extremely fast which requires plenty of tidy food as well as water. Offer enough in any way times and also examine often to stop parched as well as hungry chicks. Chick food is different than adult chicken food, and it can be found in both medicated as well as non-medicated ranges. Feed chick food for the very first 2 months, after that change to a raiser food (~ 17 % protein) for another 2 months, then to a somewhat lower protein feed or a layer feed (if you have layers). Soil Some chicks prefer to obtain a running start on taking filth bathrooms, while others won't occupy that task up until they are older. If you have the space in your chick enclosure, present a tray of sand or filth for them to shower in. Interest as well as love There are a couple of advantages to spending time with your chicks. Firstly, they will certainly most likely bond with you as well as not escape as grownups. Second, if you analyze your chicks daily and also watch their habits, you can catch disease or other issues earlier. Watch out for hissing, limping, or various other undesirable indications. Be sure to additionally check out their poop, as diarrhea can lead to matted plumes and obstructed cloaca. Finally, it is essential to look out for social issues, such as the tiniest chick getting picked on. Vacant nest syndrome So your chicks are now totally feathery and its time for them to leave the safety and security of your residence as well as move outside right into a coop.
