    Homeless chicken. :-(

    Hi guys, hope all you knowledgeable people can help with our issue! We have a happy, healthy flock of 21 chickens. My mother in law lives down the street and an Araucana (not ours) showed up there out of the blue. She has asked all the neighbors and everyone around if it belongs to them...

    Chicks in this morning!

    Quote: That's great! Glad they were all healthy! I was so worried when I first opened the box but they were all happily chirping away. Best of luck with your flock, be sure to post some pics!

    Chicks in this morning!

    Thanks for the info guys! I've been keeping an eye on them and as the day went on they started to avoid the heat lamp so I turned it off. They have been running around the whole brooder now, with a few congregating around the waterers. I might get another fan for the other side of the room to...

    Hello from NC coast!

    Thanks, guys! I will admit I'm a but nervous about receiving them in the mail. I'd hate to open the box and find that some didn't make it. I'm hoping that risk is minimal since it's summer and they shouldn't get too cold... but we will see. First question, and maybe this belongs in another...

    Hello from NC coast!

    Hi guys! I'm a newbie to raising chickens and I'll be getting my chicks the week of July 15th from Murray McMurray and I can't wait! We are building our coop this week and hopefully setting up our brooder in our unfinished addition next weekend. I thought I would say hello and introduce myself...
