RE: OT - baby chicks

Here in So Cal we are well into spring. We haven't quite had last frost
yet but baby chicks won't need heroic measures to keep them warm.
I like buying baby chicks at the end of summer myself, it's warm enough
to keep them without heat lamps while they're little, then they grow all
winter and start laying in spring. The years we bought spring chicks we
never got eggs until the next year.

Where does your nephew live? While spring, especially Easter, is
traditional, I found that it was a lot easier raising them when the
weather
was warmer. They had to spend a lot less time in the brooder, and I
didn't
have to get up in the middle of the night to check the temperature for
very
long.

FWIW, I'm never going to get spring chicks again. May or June would be
perfect for me.
