I picked up 8 5-day old pullets today! They are so cute!
I think I figured everything out - they are still alive so far! They all seem to be eating and drinking and pooping.
They do seem to prefer to huddle in a corner away from the heat lamp, but they aren't panting or too cold (I think).
I have paper towels over their pine shavings in a box covered by a window screen. How often do I need to clean their poop up? I'm paranoid that they're going to get coccidiosis or whatever you call it!
Thanks,
Sarah
