Hey everyone! I have recently been surprised with a handful of chicks, 4 weeks ago & have realized how truly awesome these birds are! I have no idea what the 9 that I started with are, but today I also purchased 3 silkies & 3 khaki campbell ducklings. They are all so wonderful, entertaining & personalities are shining through already. Any advice for a starter that you figured out the hard way?

I find the easiest way to get around this site is by using the search box. I'm probably as non-tech as humanly possible but, I don't let that stop me.
