It's a great idea to get them using them now..lol. I'm going to stop by Orschlen's tomorrow and pick one up! Thanks so much! I'm thinking you just saved me a whole lot of work..:) I'll let ya know how it goes.

Yes, they are messy messy. My grandma, my girls and myself are always cleaning their waterer out. Somehow food ends up in there too..lol. The water bottle is a great idea!! Do they pretty quickly pick up on how to use it? I'd hate for them to get dehydrated.

Thank you for the link. I've actually been reading up on it like crazy since we got them the other day. :) The box that your referring to (it must be the one you saw in the first post) is what the Farm Supply store sent them home in. That was just there travel box. :) If you look close you can...

Thanks :) I got the heat lamp on them yesterday evening and they were super happy about that :) Great idea on the rubbermaid container. I'll take one over there today. I got the receipt from my grandma yesterday and both said pullets. Maybe they sex them before they send them out? That's great...

Ok, another question :) Are we able to sex them? Is it better to have only females, only males or a mix??

Well, right now she has them in a box, inside her home, with bedding. We own a heat lamp, should we get it set up for them? The coolest day this week is 77. Are heating pads safe if under several layers or is it best to use a heat lamp, what temp is best? I'll do some research on brooders as well.

Thanks, I've been snooping around the site already :) Lots of great ideas for cute coops!! So I called the store (Great idea!!) They are Production Red and Black Sex Link. I just did a quick check and both seem to be good egg layers! That's good news. I've actually been dying and pleading with...

Hi! I'm from South Central Kansas, a stay at home mommy for my sweet girls, and evidently a new chicken researcher :) My grandma has been stalking the chickens at our local Farm Supply store. I've been begging her not to get them but today my daughter and all her 4 year old cuteness talked her...
