    The chicks are so cute 💖 Gypsy was so good when you showed them to her 💖

      She's so gentle with them, it's adorable! They're much bigger now and I think she's a little more afraid of them because they're quite loud haha, but she lets them be for the most part which is great!

    I love the chicks 🐥. They are so cute. I was watching with my four year old and she named them Elena, Elsa, Rapunzel, and Aurora. The chicken coop looks amazing too. 🥰

    I’ve been waiting for you to make this video ever since I saw your IG post of the little chicks! So cute!❤️

    In the future you may want to consider using a heat plate instead of a lamp! Heat plates are a much lower fire risk and are adjustable as the chicks grow! The chicks can easily move away if they get too warm. Plus, they love to jump and play on it 😂

      Oh very good to know! I’ll have to look into getting one if we decide to get more next spring!

    We eventually want to have chickens too once we own a house, (We're renting currently) Thanks for this video! This will be very helpful for us when we build a coop :)

    Leg cuffs good for black flies! Also white top helps. No head net, so guess they're not bad now? Lumber prices crazy, take long time for those chicks to pay for themselves!!

    • @TheNightOwl1212
      @TheNightOwl1212  2 года назад

      They’re bad on and off here! We have horses next door so that tends to attract the flies but we also get a lot of wind due to the way our house sits, kind of in a valley! Lumber is insane, we definitely spent a bit more than we intended so yes those chicks better lay us a lot of eggs! 😂 we plan to get more next year as well, which is why we went big with the coop.

      I’m so excited for ours to be able to move into the coop! They’ve been so much fun so far and it’s so neat to see them grow and change. I swear every day they look different!

    Just a heads up. Chickens draw mice, because of the grain that they eat. It's fine as long as they aren't too close to your home. But if the coop is close to the house, you just might have extra critters inside. You're welcome! lol

      Haha very good to know! We already have quite the mouse problem in the winter so this is just going to make that so much better😂 we’ll definitely try to prepare ahead of time!
