I had the same question. I won't have any chicks for sale, ( I will be lucky to get more than a few) but would love the opportunity to acquire some from others.

I filled it out, marked no chicks, now what??

Now we wait and see what becomes of it. in 21 days it become a nice list or it maybe a dud only time will tell

At this point I'm unsure what and how many chicks will be for sale. I love the idea!

I totally agree. That is what I did and now we wait to see what happens because I plan to keep my chicks that hatch especially my hens.

These puppies are adorable!! Great pics too.

Survey was to get a list of who wants to sell they're chicks and where they are located so that member can look at the list and see if any are for sale around them and what breeds are for sale. Once the list is done I think ron is going to try and a list on front page by person name or make another post for the list and locations and breeds. I'm not 100% on the end result of what's happening with it.

The guessing is closed.

Thank you!

Congratulations! Oh, how I wish little human babies could be hatched like chicken eggs, my heart's wish of becoming a mom would've been granted long ago if that was the case... Imagine 9 months of willing an egg to hatch though, and candling to see development!

Wouldn't that be something?? No willing an egg on for nine months though, just for the three weeks. )

No children? Your chicken's are your kids then. Maybe a dog, or a cat or two of each?

Hello, day 12 here for me (Xmas day hatch) and we have some very hot days coming up (days 15, 16 & 17 of the hatch) temps due to be 38, 41 & 37C (100, 106 &99F)
Any advice on what I can do to help broody (Nell) and eggs through it? I always keep water and food next to Nell so she can reach without moving from eggs. The coop is technically mobile - but very heavy - we could move it to under the carport so it is in constant shade, but I am worried Nell will not take the move well and abandon the eggs - it would not be a smooth move! Will take 3-4 strong people to move it: -



Any advice gratefully accepted!

Anytime it gets hot where I am, I freeze a jug of water and put it in their water. It really helps them to stay cool. I have also given them watermelon and put a mister on. They are so spoiled.
