Chicken Math Got Me Bad....

[Sefirothe]

Hey, sounds like you’re yet another awesome person who is as addicted to buying chicks as I am!

I have never had chicks shipped, as I would be heartbroken if something happened to them.


I live an hour and a half drive from Rural King, and even that, causes heat-related issues.
Finally got this set up, and it works great!

(Excuse the waterer. This picture was taken after I got home.)

I have an inverter that plugs into the cigarette lighter, and then I just run the cord back.
For travel, I offer very wet mash for feed and water. (Don’t give them an actual waterer unless you’re stopped. It makes a miserable reck for them.)
They spend most of the drive hanging out under the heat plate, but hey, at least they’ve got it!

Haven’t lost one to chilling since!

That’s actually a good idea. I’d have to double check but I think my truck actually has a built in inverter with a plug in the armrest.

Maybe there will be a road trip in my future.

Did you get around using YouTube?

Yea, I used the gallery function here on the site.

It would have been nice to be able to use TikTok or Facebook some how. I was just trying to avoid having yet another place to upload videos to.

Yeah, thanks!
I have videos I want to share on my flock’s thread, but have zero interest in setting up a YouTube account and blah blah blah.
Glad to know there’s another way!

I’m a sucker.
Just went onto Cackle Hatchery.com.
Putting together my first mail order. It might have to wait until next year.

Thanks for the heads up. I would have never known…I always come straight to the forums lol!

Here’s a Chonky fluffy butt playing Queen of the perch to welcome all the new visitors.
