Hi, all. I am new here, wish I had found it sooner. We have had a very spoiled inside pet chicken since September, we had her since she was 8 days old. My youngest son took her to bed with him last night (instead of her coup) and sometime during the night rolled over on her and she died. So, at 5 this morning, I had a house full of crying kids. I am desperately searching for one or two baby chickens, (preferably a week or more old, or one who is used to being held, loved, watch t.v., etc...) not to replace Tweety, but to ease my kids sadness.
Does anyone know someone who has any chicks that are available this time of year (in my area) I am in Vicksburg, Ms. Just to let you know, I really don't think Tweety knew she was a chicken, she came to my room and got in bed with me, to hide. She ate meals with the kids, etc ... Any chicken would be very well spoiled and cared for! Would love a hen, if possible.
Thanks for any tips,
Velma
