I plan on getting 4-5 chicks in late febuary.
1. can I keep them in a large cardboard box?
2. I have a paper shredder in my office, can I use that as bedding?
3. What should I feed them, and how much?
Thanks!
Thanks to all the positive response!
Eggs are the primary use for the chickens. I have 2 children, and they will be joining 4-h to show at our county fair, so they need to be friendly.
Sounds like barred rock and austrolrop are good choices.
I will post pix of the coup I have built, and...
Hi,
I am a new member located in maryland, on the eastern shore.
I have already built the coup, and will be ordering the new chicks soon!
Any suggestions for a nice, well tempered breed?
