Not sure what state u r in but ny the state minimum purchase is 6 chicks. Chickens are not solitary animals and do not thrive on their own. I would recommend get a few more. Although seems like everytime I walk into tractor supply I get at least six more!! I'm up to 41 so far..i may have an addiction

There is no min limit here, but yes, I knew this, these two will be 5 total. the place i get them didn't have all the chicks i wanted the same day. I got two at a time, first two are two weeks older, second two, the one died, and today I got two more for 5 total, unless one of these dies too. I am in GA, and in my county it goes my lot size, I think I figured I could have up to 18, but I don't want that many.

Good luck with them!! I have lost a few babies this year and it was devastating for me. It's all part of being a chicken mamma though...

I know it already hurts, losing my barred rock, May. she was so sweet.

Is the baby happy now that she has sisters?

Thanks so much! They are adorable. We named them ci ci and flash.

This is my little Jessie Quick. She is such a sweetie pie. Lets us pick her right up.

They seem to be, so far/ At first she cried for me a bit, but she seems to have calmed down now.

They normally adjust pretty quickly
