    I haz chicks!

    They were not quite so crowded when we opened the box but they crowded up after so maybe they were scared or something? It was like 80 yesterday.

    Thanks! Checked on them this morning and the surrogate momma is super happy and the little chickies are following her around.like they should. My friend Krista has had chickens for years, but this is all new to me. I swear there is nothing cuter that this!

    I haz chicks!

    My friend and I went to a ranch today and we bound some newborn chicks. OMG they are so cute! Ameraucaunas, Wyandotts, Red Sex links and Chochins.

    Hello! I am a total newbie :)

    That is a totally adorable coop! If I didn't need one that was more portable I would get the hubby to build me one like that.

    Hello! I am a total newbie :)

    My name is Peldyn and I am waiting for my husband to make my new coop so I can get chickens. I have not had them since a child and I am afraid that I have forgotten the little bit I knew about them. As a total newbie I could use advice on what types are good around dogs, cats, grandkids, like...
