Hello all!!

[elociN89]

I guess I will start by saying, Howdy! My name is Nikita, I just got my first chicks about a week ago, they are Old English Game Bantums and I also just got 2 sickie chicks about 5 days ago.
I believe they are all 3 or so weeks old.

So far I am loving the chicken biz!

My chickens are just part of the big ol' family!

Is there any advice for me and my chickens?

Anything that might help me out, as my chicks grow??

Very glad to have you with us!!! You will find this is one of the best communities out there. One piece of advice I have is.... handle those babies daily! They will grow up fast and I'm sure you'd want them to be super friendly when they get older too

Hello Nikita! So glad you could join us! The best advice I can give you at this point is handle those babies as much as possible. Get them use to you and being handled. It will make things easier for when you have to put Vaseline on their combs and legs.
