In the holidays my family got to take the Room-4 chicks home for the holidays. They were so small. We took the chicks home on Saturday and they really stunk. We took the chicks home in a big container in our car. The big brooder box was too large that it wouldn't fit in Dad's van so we had to put the brooder box in the RJEagar truck. In the car the chicks were chirping as loud as the sound of thunder.
When we got home we unloaded the humongous brooder box out of the RJEagar truck. After that we put the brooder box in the shed and we got the chicks out. We had to plug the heat lamp in. We had to try to figure out a way to get the heat lamp to go inside the brooder box. First thing we tried was to cut a little hole in the netting, so the cord could fit through and plug into the wall. That worked but we had another idea... The Idea was to jam the cord in between the two lids.
When we went to set the heat lamp up, Dad unscrewed the connection and….. the wires came out of the bulb. Mum panicked and rang lots of people to try and get another heat lamp. Finally we got a heat lamp from the Mitchells. While Dad was getting the heat lamp, Mum put my old hot water bottle in with the chickens. Later that night Matthew’s Dad, Alan fixed the lamp. ‘’THANK GOODNESS"!!!
"BAM!" The holidays have gone quick I've only got one more day to hang out with the chicks. One thing that I've learnt these holiday's is that looking after baby chicks is a really hard job, especially when you have to change their news paper two times a day. The chicks used to be so small, but now they're gigantic. I've enjoyed having the chicks at my place because I got to spend time with them and watch them grow. By Hollie and Abbie.....
"WE LOVE THE CHICKS"!!!
That is a really big story
