    Quote: Thank you so much, it is just more a fun thing to socialize and learn from others. I just kind of wondered what they look for.

    They arrived

    My only concern is when I go to work in the morning. If I make sure their water is fresh and the food is ok, will they be ok for 8-9 hours until I get home?

    Is Noise a Problem with new chicks

    Thank you so much everyone, I am not going to worry too much then. I figured they would be older by the time the lawn mowing season starts so they should be ok then. My vaccum is really loud so that was what I was worried about. With two dogs I could not consider not vaccuming for a month or...

    Just got my first chickens!

    Oh my goodness, now I can't wait for my first ones. I am so nervous they will not live, they seem so delicate. I know I will be having a hard time sleeping once they arrive.

    Question about Water

    Thank you all so much, this helps enormously. My husband was concerned that if the water was not the best that the impurities would be passed through to the eggs and then we would ingest them. By what I have read about their food diets, the water seems to be the least of my worries.
