Hi! I'm in Montgomery County, Ohio...near New Lebanon/Trotwood area. We're about ten minutes West (I think) of the city of Dayton. We're just getting into the chickens. Our lease says we can have horses and other domestic animals (livestock). I cannot find ANYTHING about chickens, etc...

Wow! This is amazing! Thank you for posting!! I was just searching to find out how to process my own chickens if I happen to get any roosters this go-round (and I'm sure I will). I was a bit leery of doing it myself, but I can do this. I'll be using this post when I do. :-)

Thank you, egghead! I do have the red-colored heating lamp right now. I may replace tomorrow with a lower watt bulb. Are they a full week old now? I just got them two days ago! I was going to raise it on Monday, since that'll be a week? I thought they were about a day old when I got them...

Today at my store. The TSC website says all/most stores will have them by March 4th at the latest, but today was the "official" start day of it, according to the site.

ok, thanks! So, I just need to get over it and stop worrying about my house burning down!

Hi! We are getting our chicks today, and I have a couple of questions. This is our first time with chickens, and I've been doing a ton of research, but still have a few questions. Firstly...do I leave the brooder lamp on 24/7? I'm a bit leery of having it on overnight while I'm...

Ours have chicks TODAY! My daughter and I are going to get our chicks this afternoon. I can't wait!

Just outside Dayton, Ohio here - I'm paying between $4 - $6/bale...about $40 and up for a round bale. My neighbor, who just moved here from northern Ohio, goes back up there to get hay for about $3/bale. He's going to get some for me next time! I really hope they can cut early this year, and...
