I got two chicks "for my son" a couple of weeks ago. We've been considering it for a couple of years and he finally convinced me. Last week we go two more. They seem to be addictive. And so easy. We are fairly sure they're Rhode Island Reds but whatever they are we're pretty happy with them. The dogs are happy with them too, but one of them seems to see it as her duty to protect the chicks from the other. Completely unnecessary since I don't think he's a danger to them either. They are both quite fascinated, though.
and Welcome To BYC! Ya, chickens are addictive, you always want more, it is called Chicken Math. X2, do be careful with the dogs, there are some nice threads on training dogs to be good with chickens if you want to do a search, ie here is a good one
