Haha, so I’ve heard about chicks and their addicting qualities. :) Thanks. This makes me feel much better.

Thank you!

This isn’t great to hear, thanks!

Thanks!

Hi All! Love seeing all the photos of Meyer chickens! I placed my order for my first chicks a few weeks ago and I’m so excited! I’m going to pick them up in mid-February. Meyer is about a 3.5 hour drive from me, so I’d rather just make the drive than wait until April to have them shipped. I...

This is so helpful, thanks!

Hi all! Hope everyone is staying warm and dry today. I need some help with my coop configuration. It’s here!! Well, it’s still in the boxes as you can see in the photo, but we’re on our way! ;)Luckily, we plan to pick up six chicks (doms, EEs and wellsummers) on President’s Day, so we have some...

My coop is still in the future! We don't get our chicks until February. But this three has been very helpful for our planning!

Interesting option, thanks so much!

Great, thank you so much!

Hi all! I'm researching for my chick's brooder (planning to get them in February) and wondering about the use of a specific type of paper bedding. It's here...

Hello! I know that this is an old thread, but I just wanted to say thank you for sharing your ideas! I'm sold on a resin shed-type coop and love getting ideas! I will definitely go with a poop board too and will cut in an auto chicken door to the run. Thanks again and I hope your coop is working...

I love this. Thank you for sharing. I will start my flock of 5(ish) this coming winter/spring. So we're drawing up plans now for a coop. I have been vacillating between a resin shed retrofit and a solid wood shed-type coop (6x6 or 6x8). No matter how I cost out the materials for a good, wood...

Hello! Your birds are lovely. What breeds do you have and where did you get them?

Thanks. This is so helpful! I'm glad to hear a "success story". And interesting to hear that you had a hen who stood her ground. I wondered about that. I figured roosters would be inclined to "defend" themselves, but I didn't know that a hen may also stick up for herself. :)

Oh gosh. I'm so sorry to hear that. That sounds like an absolute nightmare to me. :hitInteresting to hear your advice about keeping her away from chicks. They do sound an awful lot like her squeaky toys...

Hi all. I'm planning my future small flock and would like some advice on how to introduce the new chicks to our dog when we bring them home. She is extremely important to us and has been an "only child" up until now. We want to make this process as easy on the chicks, her and us as possible. I...

Thanks. That's what I'm hoping for. I got a little freaked out at the thought that more than half of them may die based on what others have said! They will have a 3.5 hour drive home from the hatchery with me, but I will have heat packs in their box and will keep the car warm. I'll have their...

Oh yes! There's always that possibility, isn't there.:rolleyes: Thanks so much! I think I'll go with six chicks then.

Because my chicks aren't being shipped (I will pick them up in person), do I need to plan on any loss?? I will read every book I can get my hands on and won't cut any corners on feed, or care, or brooder specs, but I still don't know if I should expect to lose a chick or two. I figure since I'm...
