I joined a while back and have been busy trying to choose what chicks to order. I finally narrowed it down to six chicks that will go into the chicken tractor I am building. I can't tell you how happy I was when I got the call that the first 3 chicks (Cuckoo Maran, Plymouth Rock and Easter Egger) arrived at my local feed store two weeks ago. I can’t believe how fast they are growing. I was a little worried when our power went out in a storm but I put a knitted woolen ski hat over them until the power was restored a couple of hours later and it worked great! I have also ordered a Salmon Favorelle, an Australorp and a Speckled Sussex which will arrive in a couple of weeks. After seeing all of the photos others have posted it was really hard to stopped at 6. Originally I was only going to get 5 but my BF told me to order another just in case I end up with a rooster or someone who just doesn't want to get along with the others and said she would give it a home with her flock.
