I ventured into the chick store today (I bought cat food)
They had a bunch of new chicks in, but like 7 or 8 kinds in 3 tanks....
I was tempted to get a couple of fo the kinds I don't have yet, but A) I am near jy self-imposed capacity, and B) I have had my chicks for not quite a week, I did not want to toss another handful of birds into the mix, Bio security and all.
Considering they probably get their wares from the same hatchery at all times, how much risk would it be to add new chicks 5 days later?
The setup was not ideal, No telling what chicks I would have brought home either (so it was not too hard to pass the up. but lordy! Chickens are like potato chips....one kind just does not cut it!)
