Hi Everyone,
I have only 4 Wyandottes at the moment due to mishaps that thins my 8 down to 4! One chick died the second day, I didn't want the extra roos and my dog got one!
I want to add more chicks this coming spring but I have questions. I got a catalog from the Randall Burkey Company and everything looks great. Problem is I am in Washington state and they are in Texas!
I bought the Wyandottes from the feed store here but can't get sexed chicks there and I can't have a Roo, very sorry to say my neighbors made me get rid of the one I had kept previously. Is it safe to order chicks by mail? I haven't found any breeders here in Washington state that I could either order from or go pick up the chick. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!
Also my hen house is 8' X 8' and I have a huge fenced area for my chickens along with a few Flemish Giant bunnies. I am assuming the hen house would be fine to add the extra chickens since there is such an outdoor area they certainly enjoy! Then I stop and remember the old saying about assuming.......!
Thanks for any replies,
Nancy
