    Yep. Only planning right now. I'm good to go health wise for chickens. I've given up too much of my life to give up on my dream of chickens now. Thank you for the link!

    I'm in Columbia, SC, near USC. I guess that's why the chicken laws are so favorable towards owning chickens.

    See! That's why I joined this site. I'm still researching Brooder plates? What are they and how old does a chick need those?

    I can have electricity in their coops. I am planning their coop to be near an outlet. I just wasn't sure what needs electricity in the coop?

    You guys rock! Thank you!!!! Do you have a recommendation of how to find a good hatchery. Looking local or ordering online? If you could pick the most friendly, best laying chickens, which would you suggest. I know I'm going to want to love on them!

    We went to the farm store yesterday and they had sexed Isa Brown Chicks. I loved them they were the traditional yellow chicks. There was a sign saying must buy 4 chicks. I know that we will raise them in a tub, but what age are they ready to be put outside in the coop? Does the coop need to...
