    Chicken math

    So I started with 12 on Tuesday. I have 6 on the way to me as I type (gotta love your dad out running errands!). This could get ugly fast. I already had planned on 2-4 more next week. Hubby is gonna kill me.

I wanted to go Monday to get my chicks but now that Monday is almost here, I'm getting chicken. (pardon the pun!)

    Hello from Virginia!

    I am about to get my first set of chicks next week. I've tried to do a ton of research and figure out what I want and the best environment for them. I have a really nice area with what I hope is excellent predator protection for them once they're old enough to go outside and I'm about 95% set on...
