We had a blast!!! I think I get this bumper sticker since Lisa got the "chllin' with my peeps". I am going to take it to work and put it on my tool box. Thanks again for being so hospitable to us!!! We will keep you informed on the progress!!!
I have a golden comet (was suppose to have more but long story) here are some pictures of her from a couple days old to about 8 weeks. She is 12 weeks now and I can take some more pics of her after I get new batteries for the camera.
This is of her at aprox 2 days old w/her sister.

I used plexiglas from lowes. They have all different sizes and is not that expensive. I made 2 10"x8" windows and the 10"x8" sheets of plexiglas was $1.50 a piece.
Our tsc in winder just got their chicks in today. They got straight run rir and assorted pullets. My neighbor went down there at 5'oclock today and got 3 rir, 2 barred rocks, and 1 buff orp. He said when he left there were only about 10 assorted pullets left, but they had plenty of rir.
I have primed and painted two coats of exterior paint to the inside of my coop that I'm in the process of building. I painted it so when I clean it out and it is really nasty I can use a water hose and not hurt the wood.
Hey I live in winder and the tractor supply store here is supposed to get their shipment of chicks in on next monday, march 16th. I don't know for sure what kind of chicks they will get but since buff orps are pretty popular they may have some.
The stuff I'm getting from tsc says to keep them on starter/grower until 10 weeks. So I'm gonna wait to switch them until they finish the bag, I don't care if they are past ten weeks or not. I don't think it will hurt them to go past 10 weeks on starter.
It was almost 70 here today and the weatherman said we might get snow tomorrow or it is just going to be a cold rain I have been praying for snow all winter long because we haven't had snow on the ground for about three years now and I LOVE the snow!!!
A crossman will work or any pellet gun that you can "pump" it more than once. I had a crossman that was deadly. The only drawback is don't try to shoot from too far a distance. A 22 would still be ideal, and they don't make that much noise.
thanks for your replies. I was hoping not to order it online so I don't have to pay shipping. But it looks like I am going to have to go that route. Thanks again.
This question is mainly for georgia people. Where do you get food grade Diatomaceous Earth here? It sounds like a good product to use, but since I am new to the world of chickens I am still trying to figure out where I get everything I need. Thanks.
