I'm a 1st timer, having way too much fun! I have been stalking the site for about 2 weeks now and love love love all the information I get! We got 10 chicks 8 days ago, and then while at grandmas house, my daughter got 3 more... Bringing our 1st time flock to 13!!! Oy vey!! I never imagined they would be this fun! I have then set up in a bin in our mud room, and they seem happy! Can't wait till they are old enough (and CO is warm enough) to get them in my back yard!! We seem to be understanding the pecking order and have 1 (the tiniest and my favorite) with pasty butt... It's a learning experience and I'm so glad I found this site to help me out!!!
