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 Perkins, Oklahoma Baby chicks are very charming as well as difficult to withstand, yet it's ideal to prepare for their arrival before you obtain them.

Raising baby chicks is reasonably basic, you merely should provide them with the following: A clean and warm habitat Lots of food and also water Interest and also love Habitat Your habitat could be a basic box, fish tank, cat service provider, or guinea porker cage. Line it with old towels as well as coverings (without any loose strings!) to start, and also after a couple of weeks use straw over newspaper. Note: Avoid using just paper or various other sandal surfaces-- or your chicks legs could grow misshapen. You also require something to provide food and also water in, such as a chicken feeder and water meal from the feed shop, or a pickle container cover for food and a pet dog bird water dispenser from a pet dog store. Additionally, as the chicks get older you can introduce a perch into the habitat to get them trained on perching. Warmth To keep your chicks heat you have to provide them with a warmth source. This could be as straightforward as a 100 watt light bulb in a reflective clamp design light from an equipment shop, or an infrared reptile warmth bulb also function extremely well (my recommendation). Chicks require this heat 24/7 till their downy fluff is changed with feathers (which can occupy to 2 months). The freshly hatched need a temperature level in between 90 as well as 100 levels, and also weekly this could be reduced by about 5 degrees or so. The warmth resource must get on simply one side of the cage to enable chicks a range of temperatures. The chicks are your finest thermostat- if they are concealing in the other edge of your heat lamp, you should reduce the temperature. If they are smothering each other under the warmth (not just curling up), you should put some warmth. Home cleaning Tidiness is vital as well as it maintains your chicks healthy.

Feed chick food for the very first 2 months, then change to a raiser food (~ 17 % protein) for another 2 months, then to a slightly reduced protein feed or a level feed (if you have layers). Soil Some chicks want to obtain a running start on taking dirt baths, while others will not occupy that task until they are older. If you have the area in your chick unit, present a tray of sand or filth for them to wash in. Focus and love There are a few advantages to spending time with your chicks. Firstly, they will certainly most likely bond with you as well as not flee as grownups. Second, if you analyze your chicks daily and enjoy their behavior, you can catch illness or various other issues previously. Watch out for wheezing, hopping, or other unhealthy indicators.
