Are you anywhere near Green's Feed on N. Virginia Street across from the Bonanza Casino? According to another member they will give you 5 free chicks when you buy a 8# bag of chick starter this weekend. Why wait?

Here's the link about it:

Sorry we are enablers on here

I have no where ready don't worry I will try to go though just to look

 

[NancyDz]

hehee just looking is dangerous

All you need is a plastic bin and a brooder lamp, shavings. Nothing fancy, you'll be two months ahead on getting eggs! Plus you'll have 5 weeks to build a coop and more incentive! Just a thought......

No coop is even started yet and its to cold plus no pwer i the garage

I have chicks in my living room currently

Before my coop was done last year I had two chickens that went in a dog crate at night and free ranged my yard during the day. It certainly sped up my coop building. Raised a batch of chicks in my laundry room last year too. Ah go look... can't hurt

my mom says no chicks in the house so we have to run heat out to the garage first

but just wait. Also do we need to have cackle vaccinate them?

 

[gaited horse]

do the chicks need any thing other then heat, food, feeders, water, waterers, bedding, brooder and lots of love
