Chickie babies

Chicks started hatching yesterday. They are just so dang cute i can hardly stand it! You can not help but have a good day with these guys around.


Not much cuter than a baby goat, but this might be it :)
I keep newborns in an old water trough. Works great for a brooder. I have read over & over not to use straw as bedding because they say chicks can not walk well on it. I have never had that problem & i think they do just fine. It gives them something to poke at, because you KNOW they will try to eat anything that looks interesting. I would rather have them peck at straw than wood shavings or newspaper or whatever.
