    Well, catdaddy, I have to do what's necessary!! I figured I would just up it to twenty! Here at the First Chicken Bank, we will acquire what we can! I just told DH that he's lucky, my coop could easily house 32 birds!!

    No chicks for me...yet

    Thanks for the responses, guys... I know that it is better this way, in the long run. Still bummed out about the wait, though. I was thinking about just throwing something together, but I really want to get it done the way I want it, so I don't have to disrupt the flock to "remodel" later...

    No chicks for me...yet

    Well, I am posting this to half vent, half whine... I apologize in advance. After two years of hinting, DH finally decided to hop on the chicken-mobile. I drew up my shed renovation plans, planned and replanned my flock, picked out feeding, watering, etc. stuff, and my day-old ship date...

    Colored chicks??????

    I think that this is horrible. It's one thing to use dye as a "marker" system for breeders, and another to use baby chick fluff as "packaging" used to market a living, breathing animal to the public. I have also seen fish sold like this. (not comparing the two)

    What if i pluck 'em now and gut 'em later?

    How many birds are you talking about, and how long will it be between the plucking/gutting? (edited to add) SORRY! Missed that part! I would definetly clean them out while they are warm. I think it's better safe than sorry!!

    Are pine shavings ok for brooder?

    I have read that some people who use newspaper for the first few weeks spray it lightly with water first, and let it dry before putting it down in the brooder. It supposedly makes it less slippery. I think I might try it when my chicks arrive. If it doesn't work, I can always toss in some...

    Barred rock or what?

    Whatever he is, he's handsome all over!! I especially like the black tail feathers, I think they set off his barring.

    I'm in PA, and YES! this is funny to me!! It was 8 degrees here this AM. Batten down! Actually, we are expecting some big snow today, but where I am, we either get all or nothing! I am so jealous of your "6 week winter"!

    POOP! Poop everywhere! But I have a great idea!

    This is the biggest reason for me to not free range my birds (when they get here). I'm not a germ-a-phobic, but I really can't bear the thought of my kids playing in the yard when there's chicken poop everywhere! I think I'd rather do the extra work and build a huge run, and "bring" as much...
