With only days away before the big hatch (5 eggs ended up developing, not bad considering its winter) we began getting their living quarters ready. I found a fantastic idea while roaming the internet for building plans: We used our kids' wading pool, put a small layer of dirt in the bottom and put some burlap over top. We have the old brooder that my grandfather actually used to keep them warm in. Using an old egg carton for a feeder and a milk carton with a small hole for water, we've successfully built them a nice home without buying anything special!
