Hi everyone.
On a whim, I ordered four chicks from a lawn and garden place. They are due to arrive in mid and end of March. I have spent the last 6 days obsessively reading about everything I can regarding chicks and chickens. I’ve also ordered my coop, my run, feeding/watering supplies and still figuring out the best brooder set up. I will have to have a separated brooder for a week as I will be receiving 2 chicks one week and two chicks the next. I have reserved an Ameraucana, a black Australorp, a salmon faverolles and a buff Silkie. They’re supposedly all female, but i’m Holding my breath on the silkie and Ameraucana. i’ve Found myself on this website daily and got a lot of useful information. We live in Western PA. I’ve got three young kids (9,7 and 3). I’m hoping the chickens will draw them away from their electronics and bring them outside more. We have two cats, two hermit crabs and a dog who is most likely living out his final months/year. Anway, happy chicken-keeping!
