Ideal Hatchery actually has no minimum number of chicks, just a minimum purchase of $20. So I ordered 3 chicks, and some posters to raise the total cost. I got 8 packing peanuts with my order.
My dad bought some Hartz Gravel 'n Grit from Walmart. I want to start using it for my chicks, but the ingredients are Gravel, Calcium Carbonate, Sorbolite clay. I heard that young chicks should not have too much calcium. Also, some of the gravel pebbles looks like a little too big for a...
I tried giving plain yogurt to my chicks, but none of them liked. Some of them stepped in it and had yogurt feet for a while.
I think it might be too bitter for them, because the ones that tried it just shook their heads and ran off.

Chicken underground means I'm not zoned for chickens. So if anyone complains about the chickens, animal control will probably take them away. Hence, I have to keep them secret. When I build the coop, it will probably be surrounded by foliage.
Also, we got the heat lamp. A friend of...
So this morning I woke up to my mom telling me the post office called. I was so excited and I went go pick them up. Because they came early, I had to set up a quick brooder. There is not hear lamp, but I got a hot water bottle in there and a heater in the room. I got 11 chicks. A red...
So my chicks are coming this Friday and I'm working on my brooder. I ordered 3 pullet chicks, but I know I'm gonna get a ton of packing peanuts. I'm holding onto the little roos for the first weekend and I'm making a temporary brooder for them. I went out and bought 2 150W lightbulbs, but I'm...
so cute!!!!
my chicks ship today and will arrive on friday.
Im soo excited for when I open that box and see all those peeping fuzz balls. Im considering skipping school that day, just for the occasion.
So my chickies are coming this Friday and I'm really excited. I ordered a red cochin, a buff orpington, and a barred plymouth rock from Ideal. I'm scared that the packing peanuts may be the same breed of one of the chicks I ordered. If that is the case, what do I do? Does the hatchery...
One of my biggest fear is that I wont be able to tell the hens I ordered apart from the packing peanuts.
Has anyone else had this problem, or does ideal usually use a different breed for the packing peanuts?

Wow.. How did you only order 3 chicks? Did it make the minimum of $20.00? I want a small order too, but I guess I am getting alot of males thrown in there too. I hope you do not get 17 packing peanuts!! Wish me the same. I did expect a few 3 or 4. Oh well... I have a local farmer that...
another good question about medicinal marijuana is whether the synthetic version (marinol) should be used or the natural plant version.
the synthetic version is in pill form, so the person will not cause any damage to their lungs. this also allows for closer regulation. however, it is probably...
