So on Easter Sunday a friend of ours surprised me with 2 baby Barred Rock chicks....well a little bigger than chicks about 3 weeks old I think. I've never had chickens before so I knew nothing but being a backyard bird lover I immediately fell in love with them.. the only pets I've ever had were hamsters and a bunny.. all I had to keep them in was the bunny cage..and the only thing I had to feed them was birdseed which they wouldnt touch..corn on the cob which they gobbled up as long as I cut it off the cob..cheerios which they loved if I crushed them up and their favorite was dried meal worms...
