How to raise baby chicks

What happens here

With the bedding in place, the host carefully sets the cardboard chick shipping boxes (with chicks still inside) directly into the prepared brooder. He then opens the boxes and gently encourages the chicks to step out into their new environment. He humorously mentions the 'meconium' (baby chick's first poop), which is often greenish, and encourages viewers to google it if they're unfamiliar.

Goal: Safely move chicks into their new brooder home
