    Oops - chickens in the house! Your stories?

    Nicest chick ever?

    Hi there - this is THE BEST place for chicken information! I could never have been so prepared for my first-time farmer excursion if not for BYC. I have 5 2-week old chicks that have transformed my bathroom and my daily routine. 3 Buff Orpingtons, 2 EEs. I expected them to be fun...
