I have new chicks! Come follow as they grow.

[Pampered chicken girl]

Sooooooo............ yesterday we had to take a hour and a half trip to  Rural King to get some stall fans and gates as they were much cheaper over there. I had got my first chicks there and was excited to see what they had even though I wasn't going to get any. So we shoped around and then we came upon the chicks. I am planning to do 2 incubation one with bantam blue laced red wyandottes and seramas, and another one with porcelain and mille fluer d'uccles, the first hatch in mid to late August, but then I saw the chicks and the buff Orpington chicks and the sapphire gem chicks and I got chick fever . So after much thinking and choosing we picked out 1 buff Orpington, 1 sapphire gem and 2 cinnamon queens. We finally got home at 9:30 at night and I quickly stopped by the farm and got my supplies and I just bought chick feed for my pullets who are just getting off it so I had some. I cleaned the feeder, waterer, and brooder plate and quickly set up the brooder (aka my bathtub ). They slept under the heat plate all night and this morning are eating, drinking and being chicks. They are eating Purina start and grow and there water has electrolytes. Probiotics and nutra-drench. So I broke my first rule of chickens and impulse bought, but I don't regret it. I said no more large fowl but I bought 4 and I love them. If you have chicks join in, this can be a raise-a-long where you can share pics and ask questions about your chicks. I will be updating this thread with pictures and info about them as they grow.

Awww! Super cute chickies! I actually had an incident like this about a week ago. My family was getting back from our trip and we needed to stop by tractor supply to get feed for our chickens awaiting us at home. I go in there not even having the mindset of getting more chickens because I have alot already. But....they had blue laced red wyandottes and Easter eggers. I got 4 Easter eggers! Their names are Junebug, Hazzelnut, Butterscotch, and Arwen.

Beautiful babies, Wyandotte's are so adorable I had one, but sadly had to rehome her due to her aggressive nature. Everytime I go to rule king I have to remind myself I’m at the limit of chickens I can have due to law, if I didn’t have restrictions I probably couldn’t resist getting all those adorable fluffy raptors

I love getting chicks, I probably shouldn't have got them logically but how can you think logically when the little fluffs are looking at you. Well I will definitely have enough layers now. I have 45 eggs on the counter already and 8 layers right now so I really need to give some to the neighbors
