I just brought home 4 chicks. They are all different and I'm leaving them alone to settle in ( I do look at them frequently cause they are so dang cute). I used a wire dog cage, and lined the bottom edge with cardboard to keep the mess in. They have been sleeping since I brought them home. They...
Thank you. Those would definitely be an option. I just didn't know if there were any local people who sold chicks that I could pick up. It'll be my first chickens, I just want to see/learn as much as possible. :)
Hey Oregonians! Does anyone in southern Oregon, specifically Medford have any personal recommendations on where to get chicks locally? I'll be there in 11 days :), and would love references. I'm looking for 4 or 5 day olds. Thank you all!

Thank you so much. Both your girls are beautiful. My husband would only eat white eggs, so ill definitely have to get a leghorn. Your australorpe's feathers are so pretty with the sun hitting her. I want 4 chickens, and so far, these two kinds are topping my list.
I'm new to chickens, don't have any yet as I'm still in the research and gather info phase. I was leaning toward Astrolope chicks. Are they friendly? Your's are sooo cute!
