Sorry it took so long to reply I was kinda busy with school and all. The debate was also postponed due to injures then my B-day and then injuries again, so it took some time before it happened. As for how it went, I think I did really well and so did my sister. My brothers argument was rather poor and weak, wile mine was supported by facts and was strong. If my parents were to say who the winner was then I would probably be it. Only problem is I kinda made my easy to long(8 pages front and back) so I only was aloud to read like two pages or so,but my mom says that I can finish it today or tomorrow(though it will probably take like a couple days or so judging by the fact that it took this long to read them)

Thanks. And thanks again for helping my out all of you really.

Happy Birthday.

My dad brought me to TSC yesterday with some of my siblings. And they still have their chicks in!!!!! And we might be going back on Saturday!!! My dad was looked like he was really considering getting some to,though who wouldn't? There were Cornish,ISA browns(i think that 's what they were called),a bin that said pullets,then one that said assorted pullets and Two that said assorted strait run,one with black ones and the other one looked like it had easter eggers and maybe even campines and a bunch of other really really cute chicks. I can't wait to go back there! I reallly hope they get there Sussexes and Americanas in by saterday.

Just know that the 'Ameraucana' are really Easter Eggers, and know how to spot the breeds that you want. TSC is notorious for mislabeled chicks. If roosters are an issue, stay away from those adorable little bantams, they aren't sexed. Stick with red sexlinks (cinnamon queens, red stars, ISA browns) or black sexlinks (Black Stars) if you can only have hens. And know how to spot the males from females. TSC stores have been known to sell straight run (unsexed) sexlinks. And don't take their word that the chicks in the 'pullet' bin are really all pullets. Pick the ones with the slimmest legs and smallest combs, they are usually going to be girls.

Ok so I meant to tell you guys about this earlier but I just got caught up in life I guess. Any ways I just want to say a huge thank you to all who helped me out cause................ I WON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I won the debate! My dad said we are getting chickens next spring. Ok yeah that's kinda long for me to wait, but if I get chickens at the end of it I think I'll find a way. We would have gotten chickens this spring but 1. We thought TSC sold out their chicks (turns out they didn't at the time, but to late now.) 2. We need to wait for our newly planted 8 foot trees to grow in a little more, and 3. The rest of my family needed a little more time to get ready for chickens. But all in all I'm getting chickens! I'm sooooo eggcited! My sister said that there was no winning or losing, I had it in the bag from the beginning, but i'm still I coulden't have done it with out you guys. I'm not trying to pick favorites but OrganicFarmWife you rock!(well every one on BYC rocks but yeah) Your info was great it realy helped me a lot thank you soooo much! And thanks once again every one else,BYC is the best! I can't wait!

You are very welcome and I am glad to hear your getting chickens. Just a hint, if it does not work, it does not work, but most places also get chicks in September also.
