Just bought my first chickens

[Andrew273]

So today I went to a local animal supply place to look at dog grooming supplies when I happened to see about 10 big bins filled with baby chicks. The animal addicted enthusiest in me decided to give in and now I have 3 baby chicks. They are absolutely adorable.

I bought (all girls) a Rhode Island Red, an Ameraucana, and a Barred Rock. I came home with a very good idea for a setup and now after reading a ton online I have to ask... Are they really this easy to care for?!

You poor thing, you've caught the disease!

Best of luck to you with your new chickies!

Yes they are! And they give you eggs and good times watching chicken tv. You're a goner now. You'll be going back to that store and building a mega chicken coop and next thing you know, you'll be hatching eggs.

The good news is they are easy to care for.... the bad news is there is no cure for chicken addiction.... welcome

Me and my dad have always thought about getting chickens, 2 days ago he brought home 12, all i have been doing / wanting to do since then is everything related to chickens.
