I have no hope of catching up on all the posts I've missed, so just jumping in here to say hello. Our chicks are all around 8 weeks now. We want to build a bigger run, and hopefully we can tackle that in the next couple of weeks, but other than that, things seem to be going okay. May is a hectic...

I don't have a good pic of ours, and we have already dismantled it, but we used a cat kennel and MHP. The Kennel is about 2wx3lx4h, with plenty of room for food, water, the MHP and even a little beam to hop up on to look out the window.

After reading through quite a lot of this thread, we went with the MHP for our chicks. We started with the heat on 6 when the chicks were indoors and the chicks ranged from 4 or 5 days to about 10 days (according to the woman at the store). The room was about 65-75 degrees during the day and...

We moved our chicks outside yesterday. It was quite a kerfuffle, but it's done and they seem happy with all the extra space to run around in. They're so fun to watch, too :)

I've been wondering the same thing. We had a name planned for one before we got them, but after one died the first couple of days, we decided to hold off 'officially' naming any of them. However, we have started calling the nicknames based on their behavior - and I think those are gonna stick...

We have four chicks - a Red Star and a Black Star and two Ameraucana. They are roughly 1-2 weeks old. My husband built a very nice MHP from a design we saw on BYC. I wish I'd taken a pic of it before we gave it to the chicks. He did a great job on it, and they seem to like it. They spend very...

Ours peep quietly when we're in the room - but it's cheap bloody murder when we leave.

Hello Colorado peeps! We just got our first chicks this weekend and finding it tough to get anything else done - other than chick-watching that is.

New here with four little chicks - two Auracana, 1 each Red Star and Black Star. We got the first three Saturday, but the Black Star just joined the family today. At nearly two weeks, the Red Star is the oldest. No names for any other than the Black Star. My son christened her 'Bowie'...

We have our first four chicks in a cat kennel with a MHP that my husband built following directions in this thread. I wish I'd taken a picture of it before we handed it over to the chicks- I'm sure it won't be nearly as pretty when they're through with it! The chicks range from a few days to...

We added a fourth chick to our current three today. The oldest of the three is about 10 day, and the newbie is about four days. The size difference is more than I expected it to be - but this is my first chicken experience, so what do I know? They seem to be okay - but the new one is mostly...

We got our first chicks today! I joined the board a couple of weeks ago and spent quite a lot of time reading. We learned a lot - including how to build a cave with a heating pad - got it all set up and picked up the chicks today. We have two auracana and one red star who's already figured...
