Pro - Does anyone else's nest boxes get soaked in rain?

[Mr Rhode Island Red]

Today I finally got 4, three-week old chicks. The breeder told me that there was 3 Anconas and an Orpington. But I'm fairly sure that its 2 Orpingtons and 2 Anconas. I've built their house and they are happily pecking away at chick crumb, after a little encouragement.

 

I'll probably put up some pics of them soon.

How lovely getting them that age you'll be able to watch them develop. My youngest have been about twice that age and still cheeped for some time. Have loads of fun Do I dare ask if you know their sex?

How are you keeping them warm?

[Mr Rhode Island Red]

I'm unsure of their gender, but I'm think(or guessing) its 3 hens and a cockerel
