    I wouldn't until they feather up a little more unless you have a heat lamp. They are sweet!

    looking for baby chicks

    :jumpyYes, I'm looking for preferably Buff Orpingtons. If I can't find those, I'll take Rhode Island Reds. No bantams. I love bantams; they are just too cute to butcher!!!! Can't do it. I'd like a run of mostly females. Will consider a straight run. Would like around 50 chicks.

    I'm giving up on this whole rooster thing.

    My roo is a rip snort, too alright. If I ease around, he usually does. But if I move too fast; here he comes with that neck a bristling. His spurs are down right pointed and lethal looking. I'm planning to take some wire pliers and snip the ends off or a metal file if that doesn't work. I'm...

    how does this broody thing work??

    Sure like the idea of marking the eggs in the brood! As for my hens; I had a brooder last October but that is just the wrong time for chicks. I just took her off the nest and gathered the eggs much to her chagrin!!! She'd peck the fire out of me if I didn't move her by her tail. She...

    Cochin Thread!!!

    I had some banny cochins about 12 years ago. I love them; they are beautiful and they lay nice eggs for their size! They do well in the cold winters, too.
