Hello! I am new to this forum and new to raising chicks! I have 3 red star and 3 black star Sexlinks that I purchased from Ace Hardware four days ago. I am loving them! Who knew they had such personality? My daughter (10 yrs old) was holding one of the red stars named Angel in her lap. My cat, Megatron, hopped into my daughters lap and plopped her butt on top of Angel! Guess my kitty doesn't like to share lap snuggles. Angel had to settle for snuggling on my daughters shoulder. LOL!

Ace Hardware has chicks?

They sure do! I didn't know they had them until we went into the local Ace Hardware ( Power and Chandler Heights) for some renovation materials. I saw them just on the other side of the check out counter, peeping away happily! I admit, I wasn't able to walk into Ace Hardware many more times until I just HAD to get some chicks!

Great peeps here, tons-o-information and you're going to learn a whole new system of math!

Quote: I once had a customer claim that they had chicks that hatched deformed. *I think they were looking for free eggs.

I also had sold two other dozen at the same time and neither of them claimed any problems... and I in fact outright asked them. I also have hatched eggs after having used Valbazen without any ill effects. But, I suppose it's possible.

The Ace Hardware at Chander Heights and Gilbert has chicks too. He orders Americaunas, Barred Rocks and Rhode Island Reds. He has been getting 60 chicks delivered every Friday morning. They have feed and other supplies as well. Tom who runs the store is a great guy.

14 hours and I'm going to candle. How many of the 34 do you think will remain in the bator tomorrow!?!?!

So I don't know a thing about incubating or hatching, etc...but I'll make a guess: 28? Is that really bad? I mean, there usually are a few that aren't growing, right? Then again, you have mad skilz...

So I was considering buying a couple of bags from the bulk order. How exactly do I do that? Thanks!
