Now that the first bunch of Chicks has hatched, in Brooder number one, we’ve moved them to a brooder box as you can see here…
A Brooder Box gives the Chicks a safe, warm, place to go to after they’ve come out of the Incubator. A place where they’ll learn to eat and drink as they spend their first weeks.
It must be Spring, kittens, piglets, lambs, goat kids, and now Chicks!
I’m sitting with a Momma and five baby kitten to my left, a lamb named Briden on my lap, and right and not to far away is an incubator with baby chicks just beginning to hatch!
Watch as this little Chick pips the egg, and hatches out …
Seems impossible that these little ones are actually a week old! Eight days to be exact! Seems like less, but they sure are lively as seen here…
