Hi Sherg ! Yay ! a near by chicken lover :) So nice to meet you ! I wound up not replacing the chicks and it worked out fine..10 hens and one Rooster...My Roo crowed for the first time on Sept 11th...sounded like a broken fog horn but he's getting the hang of it now. Also, i FINALLY...

YESSS ! i agree ! Know what you want/expect out of your flock and research breeds. Do you want them for eggs? meat? companionship? ornamental? taking into consideration your climate is important too. Some Chickens don't do well in heat.

From what i've read , river sand is one of the best for you to use in a coop...you lucky duck !

whew ! thanks again Karen ...i feel like a new mother with these little girls !

excellent ! thanks a bunch, Karen :) what age do you think i should put this "formula" into their coop? Also, with it being almost 100 degrees during the day, will they be ok in their coop next week? (they will be 3 weeks old) (there is LOTS of shade and ventilation in there). Night time...

I'm brand spankin' new to this forum and boy am i glad i found you guys !! Can anyone tell me how to incorporate Diatomacious earth to my 2 week old chicks? should i wait until they are older? and Is it beneficial and/or just a fun dust bath for them? Do i put it in a shallow pan or just put...
