Day 2 with ten chicks

[Hoberanger]

HI
I am need of lots of chicken information. We been talking about getting chickens for a long time. As crazy as it seems with everything going on now seemed to be a great time. I am now a virtual teacher for a few weeks if not longer, so I can have class pets!! Yesterday we went to get 4 chicks but somehow we ended up with 10. We got a mix of silkies, Barred Rock, Rhode Island Red and Golden & Black Sex links. Our plans for a coop is going to need to be changed to something larger. We crafters and love to build with recyced material. Looking forward to learning all abour chickens.

Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
Those little fluff balls are going to outgrow that brooder in about 2-3 weeks!
There are lots of great ideas on the Coop pages in the Articles where people made very nice coops from free pallets and other recycled materials. Good luck finding something and get going right away. Those chicks are going to need a new home very, very soon!

Tell me about it! When I went looking before finally converting my shed into a coop I was shocked at some of the ways people made coops!

Hello there and welcome to BYC!

Yes, it's funny how that works, you put 4 chicks in your basket and somehow you find 10 in there when you check out! They sure are cute! If you have any questions about them along the way, be sure to ask. Welcome aboard!
