That's funny! At least you know you're not alone!! I have to not join you guys!! I have 3 chickens now and it's supposed to stay this way, although I'd be willing to have up to 4 or VERY max 5!

I have a round metal feeder about 15cm diametre with holes all around. I only have 3 chicks and they are 2.5 weeks old right now so it works great. They kick stuff into it and poop in it ALL THE TIME, but they don't seem to spill any and it's not able to be tipped over so the waste is small. I...

Mine are 2.5 weeks now but at 1 week they were starting to try to jump/fly. Now they can all get out of the 1.5 foot high container when it's left without anything on top. I thought they were pretty darn good and that maybe I had flighty breed, but from what I know, they aren't supposed to be an...

I got 3 chicks for the first time last week. They are 2 weeks old right now and are just adorable! I'm building the coop for them on weekends and plan on keeping them there all winter. I have fears that it might not work out to be suitable, and had mentionned that to my husband when talking...

I love your cloth diapering, homeschooling, recycling, composting approach Krista!

Here are my three new chicks! This is my first time with chicks and the coop is being built at the moment. They are about 12 days old. The yellow one is an Ameraucana (from what I learned he's likely an Easter Egger) and so is the darker one towards the right. The striped one is a Penedesenca...

I'm in Canada too and looking for a small number of chicks. I really think you'd be best off trying the local feed store and if they don't have what you need, they have contacts that sell them the chickens and might be able to link you right up... Gotta use contacts. I think it will be tough to...

It's so great to see people making efforts to be more self-sustaining. That's in part my goal as well!

Welcome to BYC! I just very recently discovered the amazing community here and have learned so much! Makes me wonder how people did before internet!

ROTFL! Awww

Thank you for the great responses! I will definitely be buying local, and I think I will go with young chicks that are sexed. 4 sounds good after getting your advice, hoping not more than 1 turns out to be a rooster. For only 1 rooster, I think it'd be possible to find someone to take him...

It's really beautiful and made to be so functional! Very well thought out! You have some lucky chicks in there!
