    The "Chick" Is In the Mail.

    So, I am beginning the third iteration of my flock today. I ordered a selection of a dozen chicks and they are due to arrive later today (anyone else obsessively stare at USPS tracking data?). I just thought I'd post my brooder setup just for fun and discussion while I await the call from our...

She now sitting on either 4 or 5 eggs this afternoon. I have to admire her tenacity, so now I am a victim of “Chicken Math”. She is still...

    Stupid Newbie Question

    Ok. I am uncertain how to accomplish this. I just last week became the proud parent of 6 GLW pullets- 5 hatched 7/24 and 1 on 8/8... All are acclimating nicely since then. They will eat around my feet when I feed then and don’t race away off to a corner of the coop when I enter. Ok now to my...

    Any experience with What Da Flock Farm?

    I ordered some started chicks from them, then a week later their website is down, the phone doesn't work. No communication... I am wondering what da heck I should think? Birds are supposed to ship this week according to the order. Thanks in advance.
