We got 1200 new chicks on Monday. The farmer did us the honour and let us unpack them. He said: "I figured you might want to do it!" We were all very excited. The chicks hatched just the night before, so they were really, really tiny. We had to be very careful around them, making sure we wouldn't accidentally step on them. The shed where they are kept for the first three weeks is temperature controlled and needs to be kept very clean to avoid diseases from spreading. The temperature needs to be kept pretty high and stable too.
