Sounds like a plan, thanks :)

I'm keeping him, he's been here for months and is a total sweet heart. I don't think I have it in me to send him away just because he doesn't have the desired parts. But, someone said one of the little ones looks like a male. What's the chances of keeping two roosters in a happy flock? I don't...

Aww, he's a good daddy. Must have something to do with his sensitive lady-like upbringing ;)

I like Sam, I think I'll keep that! Poor guy, but a great excuse to expand the flock :) The chicks haven't really been scratching much at all, so the food's been easy for them to get to but I'm sure they'll get to that point so I'll keep that in mind. Thanks!

That's what I thought! She's a total man. SO many people have convinced me otherwise. That means one of my other girls is pulling double duty then, so I guess that's cool. More incentive to get more hens, I don't want Susan (until we come up with a better name, lol) to drive them crazy. Why...

The camera on my phone is terrible, and I forgot I was going to do this before it started getting dark, but here is Susan. She's really white, and her comb is very red, I don't know why she looks so discolored. Actually I've tried getting decent pictures of her before because I think she's so...

That would be cool, I'll grab a picture of Susan because I'd love to know what's up with her, too. Her sisters are dark and she's pure white, beautiful bird but confusing. She's quite manly, which I've read can be normal. I'd swear she was a rooster if she hadn't proved me wrong by laying eggs.

This is all so very cool. I really really appreciate all the help! I got medicated chick starter today, they're loving it. They're kind of cows, I should just keep a fresh bowl filled and let them eat what they want? It's kind of surprising how much they're eating, lol. They're so tiny!

These are terrible pictures, I tried... If you have any tips to make them better let me know. They wanted nothing to do with this whole ordeal, lol. Would a darker background help? Scratch- Peck -

This was my first thought, but Google scared me out of it. Google is terrifying and always expects the worst, lol. My girls are pretty young so I'm not sure if that would make a difference. I think I'd be really nervous with them roaming around all day, too. The girls have the run of the yard...

What a great setup! We were 50/50 on a heating pad or this lamp, they seem to want to be under something (mama) so I can easily see how well that would work. I need to do a few repairs on the coop anyway so I'll talk to hubs tomorrow and see what he thinks. It's a pretty small coop and we'll...

Oh, great. Thanks so much! I'll go take pics now. Honestly, I have absolutely no idea what kind of bulb it is, I have regular for a lamp light bulbs or this one, it's pretty old and if there's any writing on it I can't read it. The box is warm but not exactly hot, even directly under the light...

That's exactly what we're using, lol. My husband was so proud figuring that out, he doesn't really love or hate the chickens but I think these little cheepers are getting to him.

Awesome, thanks again :)

Thank you, one more question. Do I leave the heat lamp on 24/7?

Ok great, thanks. Maybe I'll transfer them over to a rubbermaid, I don't think it's a fire hazard but hey, better safe than sorry lol. I never ever would have thought of scrambled eggs though, thank you!

Hi, I'm new here. I have 3 hens, good girls, they've been really simple and I've had no problems with them. Today, someone knocked at my door and handed me two two-day-old chicks. Said something got their hen and the rest of the chicks, they have zero interest in trying to keep them. They knew I...
