Day 2: Baby chicks

Well the first day was a little hectic, but Pop has built a new brooder. Hopefully the chicks will be a little safer. The one weary traveler is hanging in there but it does not look good. The boys came to hold the chicks and take a few photos. Life on the farm is good .

Day 3-4

Too cold out in the barn, so in the house the chicks go. Back to a cardboard box safely in the pool bath. Pop really does not believe this is necessary but gave in to my whining. I explained the story I heard about a snake eating 12 baby chicks in one feeding, raccoons and the weather was just too cold. The chicks are doing great in the house. The weather has warmed up so maybe back to the barn in a few days. Although we sleep much better with them in the house. When they were in the barn I had a baby monitor in the stall with them, so we could run to their rescue if anything had tried to eat them. It is amazing the amount of noise a baby monitor can pick up in a metal barn when the wind blows.
