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 Tippo, Mississippi Baby chicks are extremely cute and also hard to withstand, but it's ideal to plan for their arrival before you get them.

Line it with old towels and also blankets (without any loose strings!) to begin, as well as after a few weeks make use of straw over newspaper.

You likewise require something to serve up food and also water in, such as a chicken feeder and also water recipe from the feed shop, or a pickle jar lid for food and also a family pet bird water dispenser from a family pet shop. Likewise, as the chicks grow older you can introduce a perch into the environment to obtain them trained on perching. Warmth To keep your chicks heat you should offer them with a heat source. This can be as basic as a 100 watt light bulb in a reflective clamp style light from a hardware shop, or an infrared reptile warmth bulb likewise work extremely well (my recommendation). Chicks require this warmth 24/7 till their downy fluff is changed with plumes (which can occupy to 2 months). The recently hatched require a temperature level between 90 and 100 degrees, and also each week this could be lowered by approximately 5 levels or so.

The chicks are your finest thermostat- if they are hiding in the opposite corner of your heat lamp, you should lower the temperature. If they are surrounding each other under the warmth (not just cuddling), you should put some warmth. House cleaning Cleanliness is key as well as it maintains your chicks healthy and balanced.

Dirt Some chicks want to obtain a head start on taking filth bathrooms, while others will not occupy that activity up until they are older. If you have the room in your chick enclosure, present a tray of sand or dust for them to wash in. Focus and also love There are a few advantages to spending quality time with your chicks.
