In this episode of Wyoming Coop and Cluck, Kim shares the excitement and challenges of moving her fast-growing chicks into a brand-new, larger brooder. She talks about the unexpected stress the move caused, how quickly the chicks adjusted, and the hilarious sight of tiny wings trying to navigate a much bigger world.

Kim also dives into the realities of raising skittish chicks — offering simple strategies for building trust through patience, quiet interaction, and a few well-timed treats. With the chicks entering their awkward "teenage" phase, rapid growth means rapid changes in care, space, and supplies.

Whether you're a first-time chicken keeper or just love a good homesteading story, this episode is full of warmth, humor, and lessons from the coop.
