Mine flew out of their tub at 2 and a half weeks and were sitting on my couch! lol

If you got them at tractor supply, then you probably got the golden comet and tetra tint. Mine looked just like that.

I have a tetra tint (whatever that may be (leghorn cross) is singing like a songbird. I love her. She makes me happy in this dreary Ohio weather! Never heard any of my other chicks sing like this!!

Ours are in the sunroom and we had the TV on the western channel with all the gunshots going on. Figured they better get used to gun shots in this area!

Tell her she can just eat the no taste, medication filled, 6 mo. old eggs from the store from now on! lol

Just be careful of your plants. New poo is sometimes too hot (too much nitrogen). I don't use my poo for several years due to learning the hard way and burning my plants. I don't know about chick poo, though. Another thing is, I don't ever use poo from the chicks on food source plants as I try...

I thought it was great until my tomatoes got red and my bantam roo pecked a hole in every red tomato in the garden! He now has fencing over his pen (he's a flyer) and only allowed to free range until the tomatoes start to ripen!!

My light brahma bantam is a wonderful roo. He free ranges with his hens and we have company over all the time and he has never bothered anyone. He does not like to be held, but will hang around with us and will eat out of our hand. His brother was another story. Attacked everybody. I just...

They are adorable. My BA used to lay a few triple yolkers when she was young. My SS banty was my one of my favorite little hens. I can't wait to get mutts,, but I mean real mutts, when my rooster and my hens do their own thing. I am ordering a new rooster this year. As much as my banty thinks...

I had a crossed billed sebright named twisty, lol. We always put food on the ground and she also foraged. She lived for 5 or 6 years and did fine! My brother in law still has some of her grandbabies.

I am also a chicken addict! I have one bird left from my origional purchase of straight run chicks from McMurray's 8 years ago. Thought she was a hen, but never saw her in a nest. She started getting very small spurs at about a year old. So, we called her our cross dressing hen because she/he...

That would be great but the breeds I want aren't available until May!

Just stopped in at Tractor Supply last night when I saw the "chicks r here" sign. Thank god they only had straight run or I would have had some also. I wanted to wait for warmer weather and order them. They are getting some more on Tuesday though.. hehehe. I always avoid the permission thing...
