I'm planning on getting chicks for the first time this spring. I have a corn bin for a coop and a hen house.
Being in Wisconsin, I was wondering when in the best time to get my chicks and should they be tiny or a little older?
Thanks, I'm excited to be here!

If it's still cold out, like it is here..do as most of us do until it warms up...get a brooder for indoors. I just got some babies, they will go out..if it will ever stop snowing!! Have fun with your babies! Now is a good time to find what you want in feed stores, especially layers.

Welcome!

Very exciting! Best wishes to you and your little ones when they arrive.

I recommend a visit to the Learning Centre; lots of good tips there: https://www.backyardchickens.com/atype/1/Learning_Center

You might want to also pop in and say hello on your local thread: https://www.backyardchickens.com/f/26/where-am-i-where-are-you ‘Find your State’s thread.

I hope you enjoy being a BYC member. There are lots of friendly and very helpful folks here so not only is it overflowing with useful information it is also a great place to make friends and have some fun. Unlike non chicken loving friends, family and colleagues, BYC’ers never tire of stories or pictures that feature our feathered and non feathered friends

Weather can be so unpredictable - I think you'd do best by asking folks on the Wisconsin thread for their opinion. Maybe you will even find other BYCERS living near you.
