Some places sell "starter kits". A storage tote, heat lamp, feed/water containers, & save a chick for a small fee. It's all grouped together inside the tote. It was pretty nice for those first timers without a clue.
When I got chicks for the first time, I had no clue what I was doing. The feed store sold me the brooder, lamp, drinker, feeder, and the chicks.
So I have a small backyard flock.
The local code enforcement officer rang my bell at 8am. Asked if I had an ostrich or some exotic birds in the back yard... nope. Chickens.
My psycho neighbor had apparently called me in. Maybe the silkie was confused with an ostrich?
She's so... special.
