    Beginner - Are chickens low maintenance?

    My new babies came via post office just fine. I’m surprised they seemed genuinely caring when handling the box of peepers. They are doing great. Bought from Tractor Supply and all arrived alive. I purchased 10 Buffs and I received an extra 2. I have had about 2 weeks and just lost the smallest...

    Home Made Incubator

    Today I made my first incubator out of an old cooler. My first time hatching. I used a 60 watt light bulb. I'm waiting to see if temperature holds true. Humidity is great. We live in Texas and it's humid all the time at the coast. I'm so excited. Thanks for reading. I'll keep posting my results.

    Customer upset that their chicks died

    She should have known there was risks. She seems like an unreasonable person and hateful to attempt to hurt your feelings and reputation. You were not at fault. Things happen. Stay away from her. I'm sorry this happened to you.
