We are definetly new at this...We bought our chicks at the local feed store after reading quite a bit...We wanted good laying hens that were friendly and social. We ended up with a Road Island Red, Ruby...so far she is VERY curious and cute.
A silver laced wyandotte, Mini she is the smallest...
We have had our five chicks for 6 days now and have been trying to handle them often. Some like it more than others. My daughter made a barrier with rolled up towels in a cirlce and lets them all run around in the middle of it on the laundry room floor where their brooder is they hop all over...
