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 Zillah, Washington Baby chicks are very charming and difficult to stand up to, however it's best to prepare for their arrival before you get them. Prepare first by gathering not just the proper materials, but also the proper expertise to take care of them. Raising baby chicks is relatively easy, you merely need to offer them with the following: A clean and warm and comfortable environment Lots of food and water Interest and love Habitat Your environment could be an easy box, fish tank, feline provider, or guinea porker cage. Line it with old towels and also coverings (without loosened strings!) to begin, as well as after a few weeks utilize straw over paper. Note: Avoid utilizing just newspaper or various other slipper surfaces-- or your chicks legs can grow malformed. You additionally require something to dish out food and also water in, such as a chicken feeder as well as water meal from the feed store, or a pickle container cover for food as well as a family pet bird water dispenser from an animal store. Also, as the chicks age you can present a perch into the habitat to obtain them educated on setting down. Warmth To keep your chicks heat you should provide them with a warmth source. This can be as easy as a 100 watt light bulb in a reflective clamp design lamp from a hardware store, or an infrared reptile warmth light bulb also work effectively (my recommendation). Chicks need this warmth 24/7 up until their downy fluff is replaced with feathers (which can use up to 2 months). The recently hatched out require a temperature level in between 90 and 100 levels, as well as each week this could be lowered by about 5 levels approximately. The warmth resource ought to get on merely one side of the cage to allow chicks a range of temperature levels. The chicks are your finest thermostat- if they are hiding in the other corner of your warmth lamp, you should minimize the temperature level. If they are smothering each various other under the heat (not merely snuggling), you need to put some warmth. House cleaning Cleanliness is essential and also it maintains your chicks healthy and balanced. Make sure to alter the bed linens usually and also constantly give clean food and water Food as well as water. Chicks expand quite quickly which requires lots of tidy food and water. Offer enough at all times and inspect frequently to prevent parched and also starving chicks. Chick food is different compared to adult chicken food, and it is available in both medicated as well as non-medicated selections. Feed chick food for the initial two months, then switch to a grower food (~ 17 % healthy protein) for another 2 months, and after that to a somewhat reduced protein feed or a level feed (if you have layers). Soil Some chicks prefer to obtain a running start on taking filth bathrooms, while others will not use up that activity up until they are older. If you have the space in your chick unit, present a tray of sand or dust for them to shower in. Focus and also love There are a couple of advantages to spending time with your chicks. First off, they will most likely bond with you as well as not run away as adults. Second, if you analyze your chicks daily and enjoy their actions, you could catch ailment or various other issues earlier. Keep an eye out for hissing, limping, or various other harmful signs. Make certain to additionally look at their poop, as diarrhea could result in matted feathers and obstructed cloaca. Finally, it is necessary to keep an eye out for social problems, such as the littlest chick obtaining teased. Vacant nest disorder So your chicks are now totally feathery and its time for them to leave the safety and security of your home and also relocate outside into a cage.
