I came home with 3 the other day by saying to my DF (Fiance) "I picked out the other chicks ...what kind would you like to see in the back yard?" He pointed to 3 different ones and walked away to look at tools....they went right into the car to come home with us...reverse psychology worked for...
I thought we were done with snow...it snowed yesterday so nothing happened on the coop but the guys are supposed to be in town today buying building materials...fingers crossed!
I am sorry for your loss. I have spend the last 2 weeks all over this site and from what I have seen you can throw a little out to them with their food and let them clean it up - but not mass quantities at once.
Kellydw, this section is usually where only the really really new people go - everyone else that has been on the site for a while has their specifics they are looking for and not many people visit this thread. Sorry you lost your chicks.
Don't give up on BYC - it is a great site!
Megan, The coop is coming along ...not at all...both of the guys that were supposed to start it ended up with the flu so nothing has happened yet. I guess that is what happens with the best plans! Hopefully they are working on it today while I work (fingers crossed)
I was in Bozeman on Monday and Murdoch's there is getting their chicks from Welp. I will have to check the Murdoch's in Helena to see if they are getting them from the same place. cackleberrycoop I am really excited to get some chickens from you! Come on girls, start laying!!!
I brought home 2 New Hampshire Red babies Monday from Murdock's in Bozeman... I could not resist. I only want 5 or 6 (or more with chicken math) I am waiting for babies to be ready from cackleberrycoop and then I *should* be set...but we all know how that goes
