    Update: Need some day old Salmon Faverolle chicks-found some.

    Just hatched out a new chick last night and looks like he is going to be the only one from the 10 I set . If he is going to survive he'll need some buddies so I was hoping someone near me would have a few day old to 1 wk old chicks I could buy.
