    Finally found some chicks

    Finally was able to pick up some Production Red chicks yesterday locally. Place had 20, so I took 10, as I know others have been wanting some too. Plus, it made me realize the brooder I have is barely big enough for 10 (so that lets me know what I will be doing today) This will get me going and...

    New from SW Mississippi

    Been lurking and reading a while, but figured I should just go ahead and join. I live in the SW corner of Mississippi. Hadn't been around chickens in a while due to work but hope to get back in the swing of things.
