Hello FarmBoy25.
Yep, I've got the best tip ever. Chickens are addictive. Like any addiction it's best not to start. Send the chicks back!

Hello, and welcome! Glad that you joined! What breed of chick's are you getting?

2 of each Buff Orpington, Australorp, Plymouth Rocks, RIR, Speckled Sussex, and Easter eggers!
Also, according to my calculations, we have enough coop space for 24 chickens.
Thanks for the tips. Anyone else getting chick fever?
