New Baby Chickens

"We have got eight baby chickens.  We take care of our chickens by putting water in their bin.  We put wood chips in it, and we put their food in it too."
--Alzario

"When they are little they need to be in a 90 degree environment.  You need the lamps and the towel so the heat stays in."
--Derrick

"The different breeds are Rhode Island Red, Buff Orpingtons, and Aurecanas.  I can identify the chickens by the patterns of their feathers."
--Dion

Here's the group on January 17th, at 9 days old.
