Our chicks hatched two weeks ago today at a big hatchery in the midwest. They made it through the sexing process (as featured on Dirty Jobs) and were determined to be female (males are culled), promptly put in a package, and shipped overnight to Keene, NH, where we picked them up the following day. We put them in a box that looked remarkably like a Dunkin Donuts' Munchkins box and brought them home, where they have since been underneath a heat lamp in our basement.So today was, quite literally, their first moment out in the fresh air. They didn't know what to do at first, but they quickly settled down and started tearing up the grass, something at which chickens excel. Oh, and the girls enjoyed the fresh air too.
