Yesterday morning hubby was sitting up at the computer and heard the chickens making a commotion. He looked out the window and saw a coyote at the fence.
He bounded down the stairs in about 3 steps, put our Rottie on a leash and they chased it away. Unfortantly we lost one of our 12...
So we bought these most recent 5 chicks as a gift for my 5 year old neice. They will stay at my farm with my flock but be hers. This little girl is a chicken fanatic...
Is??? Maybe was...
I;m not sure yet but some of the facination might of warn off when one of the chicks pooped on her...
My order from My Pet Chicken came yeseterday. They seemed a bit more clummsy on their feet then other chicks I've gotten but then I realized, that since they shipped express I got them a full day earlier. They were eating a drinking fine, and were pretty active for day olds!
One did scare me...
It is 7:20 and my chicks are at the post office. I am at work.
I have a 10:00 meeting an hour away and could run home to pick them up before my meeting, or wait (which I should do) until 12:00 to get them. (I took a half day off...)
They hatched yesterday. They should be OK for an extra...
What time have you recieved your call from the post office. I am expecting my chicks today or tommorow... (Hoping for today!) And was just wondering when they normally call...
I expect our chicks to be delivered tommorow.
I will have my 5 year old neice with me. They will be her chickens. (My sister has to drive 4 hours to pick up her 13 year old from a friends house & is leaving the 5 year old with me.)
I am so worried that we will have a dead chick in the box...

I am getting 5 chicks (White Cochins) tommrow from My Pet Chicken and then June 12th are expecting 25 Dominiques from Ideal.
Will I need to keep them seprate for the next 8 weeks? or is there an OK time to intergrate them? How would I go about doing that?
My little 5 year old neice is CRAZY for chickens... When she grows up she wants a chicken farm... But she lives on an army base so the only chickens she sees are on my farm when she visits a couple times a year.
I was holding off on buying my new chickens until I knew when they were coming...
