I found a hatchery that is only 2 and a half hours away from me!!! :D So exciting!!! :D Ordering the chicks would be okay, right??? This hatchery has almost every kind of chicken you can think of!!! What kind of chickens are good egg layers, very friendly, and do well in cold weather??? I REALLY...
I've decided what kind of chicks I want!!! I want Wyandotte chicks and Brahma chicks. I was thinking about Orpingtons too... Are these kind of chickens friendly??? One problem... They don't sell the kind of chicks I want here!!! So, do I order from a hatchery??? If so, which one do you guys...
What should my coop consist of??? Should I put linoleum on the floor or keep it wooden??? I don't really understand the ventilation... If I have openings above them(with wire covering)wouldn't rain and snow and things like that get inside the coop??? For a pen, would I just use wire and wood...
Hello!!! I'm wondering... Would a large tote be a big enough brooder for 4-6 chicks??? Or a cardboard one??? I saw both of these on this website. Not sure which to do... Or should I do wood??? For the heat lamp, if I keep them inside what wattage and how many??? Thanks!!!
