Day 2 - Just What is a Brooder?



I had a good night in my new home last night.  It's toasty warm and I like my cuddle buddy.   I learned how to drink water and eat my food.  My home is called a brooder.  I think that's a strange name and wanted to know why it's called that ...  so I did a little research. 


  
The word 'Brood' came into being before 1000; Middle English; Old English brōd;  cognate with Dutch broed, German Brut.  As a Noun; used most often referring to a number of young produced or hatched at one timea family of offspring or young.  As a Verb: to sit upon (eggs) to hatch, as a bird; incubate  protect, or cover (young) with wings or body; to think or worry persistently or moodily about;  to ponder.
So, I think I'm supposed to use my time in the brooder to think about and ponder my life and what is will hold for me.  I'm not moody or worried, though.  I think life is going to be great!
