I was able to secure 12 non sexed chicks. They are going to meet us in town on Sunday and we can pick them up. I just finished making a brood box out of mostly waste products and things I had lying around. I modified a humming bird feeder for the waterer. I used disposable plastic containers to make a feeder. Cardboard box for the structure. A broken 5 gallon pail to go around the oil/electric heater. I mounted my outdoor thermometer to make sure these guys get the right temperature for their age. I will add some movable cover to the opening to keep heat in.

I looked it up and you start at 95 F and then decrease by 5degrees for every week old until 6 weeks.

I am trying to do more with less. I think these skills will be needed in next few years.
