While my cousin has the nursery all ready for her son that will be here any day now (and is technically several days late), I'm still getting things set up for my peeps. It does sort of feel like getting ready for a baby, or in my case 20 babies. These chicks need a lot of stuff! A brooder, a heat lamp, something to clip the heat lamp to, something to keep the kids and dogs out of the brooder, a feeder, a water fountain, chick starter, bedding...I think that's it. Like any expectant mom, I'm worried I forgot something important and I'm gonna have to send my husband out in a storm to get it.
But today, Big D is going to Wally World to get bleach to disinfect the brooder and feeder and stuff, and the children's play yard fencing we are going to use to keep Little D and the dogs out of the brooder. So, I'll be cleaning everything for the babies today and setting up the nursery tomorrow. We have an expected arrival time of 10 a.m. Tuesday for the little darlings! I wish I could say the same for my cousin! Hang in there sweetie!
The breeds we are getting include: Buff Orpington, Silver-laced Wyandotte, and Black Australop
