Ok, thank you guys so much for all of the information. I am definitely going to look at all of the different hatcheries you mentioned

Hello, A few years ago I hatched my own silkies and ordered a few ducklings as well, but after a few shipments of ducklings that arrived dead or died within the hour, I became discouraged. However, this summer I am going to be at a camp all summer, and will have enough time to devote to...

ok, thankyou for all of the answers but is there anyway to tell if they are pullets or roos??

These are a few pictures of the "extra" chicks I got with my last order. I'm pretty sure since they were extras that they are all boys, so now I just need to know what breed they are! They have yellow skin and have 4 toes.

I'm better now. I'm sure that they will straighten this out. I just don't have the room for them and only yesterday did I get rid of my 8 barred rock rooster extras from my Ideal shipment from about 3 weeks ago. The little extras are awful cute though.

I love the color!, I'm sure your hens are thanking you for giving their home a little flair.

Hello, I have 8 week old, male, barred rock chicks for free if anyone is just dying to have another rooster or wants to raise their own dinner

Thaks for all of the replies, I'm not sure if I will put one on my coop, But I was just thinking. Thanks for all of the great ideas

The ones in the first picture are gorgeous

The one of the left looks like the next darth vader (ha ha jk he is super cute)

I haven't built a chicken coop yet because my chicks are still small and I don't know how many I will end up with yet. I was thinking about putting in a fan or maybe an outlet so you could plug in a heater. I really can't mess with powerlines and such since my coop will be mobile. I was just...
