Hello,
My name is Dani and my family hubby Travis and 14yr old son Patrick after our next door neighbor got chicks in the Spring last year and after talking with her all year we have decided to try our hand at raising a flock. Have some questions about best time to get chicks? Our neighbor decided to convert her garage into her chicken coop so gave us her 6 chicken coop that had been used for just a few months. So have the coop and our local feed store has told us they are getting chicks in a couple days believe they are going to be Easter Eggers some bluffs and Reds and I think curbons, what i was wondering if late fall is the best time for a beginner family to start their flock or if Spring is? Current weather is 70 to 80 for the next week then we drop down to 60-70. Thank you for your help
