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 Government Camp, Oregon Baby chicks are really adorable and also hard to stand up to, however it's finest to plan for their arrival before you get them. Prepare initially by gathering not just the proper materials, but also the proper expertise to care for them. Raising baby chicks is fairly easy, you merely should provide them with the following: A tidy as well as cozy habitat A lot of food and water Attention as well as love Environment 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 begin, and after a couple of weeks use straw over newspaper. Keep in mind: Avoid utilizing only newspaper or other slipper surfaces-- or your chicks legs could expand misshapen. You likewise need something to provide food as well as water in, such as a chicken feeder and also water dish from the feed shop, or a pickle jar cover for food and a family pet bird water dispenser from a family pet store. Likewise, as the chicks age you could present a perch right into the habitat to obtain them educated on setting down. Heat To maintain your chicks warm you need to supply them with a heat resource. This could be as basic as a 100 watt light bulb in a reflective clamp style lamp from a hardware store, or an infrared reptile warmth bulb likewise work extremely well (my recommendation). Chicks need this heat 24/7 until their downy fluff is changed with plumes (which can occupy to 2 months). The newly hatched need a temperature level between 90 and also 100 levels, and also weekly this can be minimized by roughly 5 levels or so. The heat resource should be on just one side of the cage to permit chicks an array of temperatures. The chicks are your finest thermostat- if they are concealing in the other edge of your heat lamp, you should minimize the temperature. If they are surrounding each various other under the heat (not just snuggling), you have to put some heat. Home cleaning Tidiness is vital as well as it keeps your chicks healthy and balanced. Be sure to alter the bed linen frequently and consistently offer clean food and also water Food as well as water. Chicks expand extremely quick which requires a lot of clean food and water. Give enough whatsoever times as well as inspect often to avoid dehydrated as well as hungry chicks. Chick food is different than adult chicken food, and also it comes in both medicated and also non-medicated varieties. Feed chick food for the very first 2 months, after that switch to a raiser food (~ 17 % protein) for an additional 2 months, and after that to a slightly lower protein feed or a level feed (if you have levels). Soil Some chicks want to obtain a head start on taking dust baths, while others won't occupy that activity up until they are older. If you have the room in your chick unit, present a tray of sand or dust for them to shower in. Interest as well as love There are a few advantages to spending time with your chicks. First of all, they will more than likely bond with you and not flee as grownups. Second, if you analyze your chicks daily and enjoy their actions, you could capture ailment or other issues earlier. Keep an eye out for wheezing, hopping, or various other undesirable indicators. Be sure to also consider their poop, as looseness of the bowels can lead to matted feathers as well as stopped up cloaca.
