I was so excited the feed store near me had silkie chicks but I didn't end up getting any because they looked unhealthy. All of them had pasty butt! Something just seemed off about them so I didn't get them.
So far I am wondering about Buff Orpingtons, Naked Necks, and Silkies. :P I would love EE in different colors though too. I have read those are all good for beginners.
We got 3 little easter eggers from the localish farm store. Assuming they were 1-2 days old when we got them they are now a little over a week old. They are being kept in my master bathroom in a rabbit cage we converted to a brooder. They grow so fast! They seem 3 times the size they were when...
Thanks! I just got in touch with a local poultry farm that is coming over next week to help me out. They are going to teach me everything I need to know and help me with building a coop. So excited.
I live in Kinderhook, IL, near(ish) Quincy. Hoping to get started with chickens real soon. I have 3 chicks and we need to get started on a coop, we are pretty lost. Anyone near me who can help a new person out?!
