    When I pick up chicks at PO

    Do I open the box right at the counter to check for deaths or problems ? I know this is probably a silly question, but I never got chicks through the mail before, and want to be sure what to do, and act like I know what I'm doing in front of the postmaster.

    Hens laying on the floor

    They have been laying in the nest boxes, but the last couple of days I've been finding the eggs on the floor under the nest boxes. Why are they doing this? I have 3 hens laying right now, and 2 of them have started laying on the floor.

    egg money

    I'm starting to have more hens laying. Am going to sell a couple dozen eggs a week. What do you do with your egg money? Add it to your wallet as extra spending money, or save it in a jar with a goal in mind for a special purchase?

    want EE pullets, have ??s

    I only want about 3 EE young pullets/chicks. The big hateries have order minimums. Is there anyone close to Washington, PA that could ship or deliver that many safely? Or should I just wait and see what the feed stores have in the spring?
