I have been looking at baby chicks at my local Wilco. i finally decided to start my own back yard flock so yesterday i picked up two Rhode Island Reds and two Ameruacanas. They made it thru the first night. I was sooo exited, i could hardly sleep and it was sooo hard to be at work today.Tonight I went and picked up one more addition, a Barred Rock. So I really don't know much about chickens but Ima gonna learn.
