I recieved a phone call from my Post Office yesterday, that my chicks were in, I went over picked them up, and all 28 were alive and well. However, last night my wife noticed that one was looking a little weak, he died a few hours later, I'm not sure why just yet, they were all fine and happy...

As soon as I get them, I will let you know how they turn out.

I'm thinking of adding on to the coop, and looking for some Ideas. Just wondering what other "peeps" on here had.

Sorry to hear about your loss! I just ordered 28 chicks from Meyer this morning. I picked a ship date of March 5, but you have me worried now. I hope mine make it through .

Here is mine what's yours look like?

I started with 12 Buff Orpingtons, which layed about 8 eggs a day, then added 4 Barred Rocks my egg count grew to around 10 to 12 a day. Last April I added 13 Rhode Island Reds, which brought my daily egg totals to anywhere from 16 eggs to 21 eggs a day. I'm hoping for more during the summer...

This is mine. Not constructed as well as the one found on here but serves the purpoose.

Welcome to BYC found this on the Coops tab up top. Its what I used to build my coop. There are several to choose from.

Hey, Welcome to BYC from North Carolina.

I have 7 Golden Buff Opingtons, 13 Rhode Island Reds, and 3 Barred Rocks. The Buffs and the Rocks i got in 2011, and the Reds I got in 2012. The Buffs are the same age, so why would some of the Buffs lay a larger egg than the Others?

I've been raising Chickens for about 2 years. Just getting started.
