    "Black - Kanye (sister named her after Kanye West... Bc this duckling needs to learn when to SIT DOWN! She was trying to break out of the box. Lol)" Sounds like the perfect name to me!

    Anyone impatiently waiting for your baby chicks to arrive?!?!

    That has not been my experience, but I suppose they could (I have found that chicks can eventually achieve anything you don't want them to). To help, I would suggest keeping the towels in long strips (as opposed to the individual little squares) laid along your brooder's floor. I use a metal...

    Anyone impatiently waiting for your baby chicks to arrive?!?!

    Choice of bedding in brooders/coops can be a touchy subject. Everyone has their preferences, and disagreements are often considered "fighting words" much like Coke vs. Pepsi, Microsoft vs. Apple, or Patriots vs. Seahawks. Just about everyone, however, can agree on two things: day-old chicks...

    Well, sorry - I won't be able to do that. I got so absolutely fed up that when I finally was able to get in touch with someone, I cancelled my order. Of course, their response only confirmed it was the right decision. Sigh. What to do now?

    Anyone impatiently waiting for your baby chicks to arrive?!?!

    Supposedly, I have 12+ Cream Legbars coming from Greenfire. I say supposedly, because they refuse to communicate with me. Emails go unanswered, they do not provide a phone number, and I have no idea if the chicks have shipped like they said they would or not. I guess when they show up on my...
