Hi! New and excited to get started. I received 10 laying chicks on Easter Monday- 4 Rhode Island Red and 6 White Leghorn- and they were a week old at that time. As I write, we are approaching week 3 and they seem well with the exception of some diarrhea. They are all ASLEEP right now!! Aaaw. Anyway, they are on a medicated starter and sitting at a (hopefully) comfortable 78-84 degrees. We will be converting my Dad’s insulated ice hut into a coop! More to follow. XO Keep on peepin’ in the free world!
