The one I saw them at is just over the Michigan line in the Niles area. On Old 31 which I think they now call MI 51.

Are the chicks currently in stores?

 

[Leahs Mom]

You'll have to contact the store(s) that are closest to you to find out their chick dates. They all vary from store to store. I just know that the Niles rural King had several breeds yesterday.

Logansport Rural King has a good 8+ breeds and some Khaki Campbell ducks already.

Just waiting on them to get some bantams in. But i imagine those womt come until April or so. Our RK gets theirs from Murray.

I got a 8' tall x 8' wide x 16' long POD Container for $300 today! Has a garage door and a sealed roof that Doesn't leak!! Pictures aren't of my POD but look Exactly like it! People on CL are selling them for $750 each, I got mine for only $300! Best deal ever! Only had to fix up a few things on it. It folds down to store it away! Weighs 2100lbs though!

My Muscovy's squeezed under a 4" gap under my coops and dug it out to build a nest. They just might be laying under there. Anywhere there is a whole or a tight squeeze, they will try to go to build a nest. I had one who likes to squeeze under the fence and nest inside the pile of old hay bedding I cleaned out the coops. They will burrow. I also have a duck who likes to dig out a hole under plywood and build a nest under the plywood. If they roam with the chickens, and can access the chicken coops, they just might lay inside it. Try laying plywood up against a wall in your pen. They tend to feel more comfortable that way.

Probably a stupid question, are you fixing it up for a coop?

 

[Nyla]

Nope. I'm using it to store hay bales, my fodder system to grow a ton more fodder and keep my new quails inside.

About twenty different names for that stretch anymore. M51, S 11th St, Old 31, (south of the border) 933, Dixie Highway. I love it. Its like they couldn't figure out what to name it and kept on naming it.

My brother used to call it the road that always has a Nelson's on it.

I would contact your local Rural King, mine has chicks year round. Chick days at TSC usually start late Februrary. There's also Craigslist, and then groups on Facebook. Best of luck!

I saw Crystal lay her 1st egg this morning!!!!!!!
(I also saw Mr Wonderful mating yesterday.)
*Both of these are big events.... after being shipped from CA to Chicago, then driven home in rush hour traffic, hatching on June 17th, patiently waiting through summer to know gender, selecting which birds to keep in fall, and making it through some pretty rough arctic temps & a few snow storms, there's finally a simple, little, brown pullet egg.

Looks like I will hatch some laced orp chicks this spring!!!!
