Week 2: Anticipation

Note the heat lamps and the laser thermometer.  The temperature
starts at 95 degrees and decreases 5 degrees every week.  You'll
know where to find us for the next year.
Well, here's the brooder box that those cute little chicks will live in.  This old frame box will do just fine -- for 6 weeks!  We will purchase our chicks next week.  My manual tells me that chicks require additional care at the outset but give me a chance to get acquainted with my birds as they grow.  Really?  I just knew it.  I will love these chicks.  Oh, what have I gotten myself into?  More about "straight run" or "as hatched" chicks next week when we choose our chicks.  Oh, me.
