Hello! I've been wanting to have a flock to provide me with fresh eggs and enjoyment for what seems like always. A few months ago, my boyfriend and I moved to a 50 acre farm, and I started scheming. This weekend I bit the bullet and set up a brooder, purchasing 5 chicks from our local farm store - 2 Rhode Island Reds, 2 Silver Laced Wyandottes, and 1 Blue Langshan. I suggested 6; my boyfriend said 3, talked him up to 4, and the salesman at the feed store sold me 5 I'm super excited to finally have some chickens in my life! They're very cute and sweet though they do seem to make a mess of their water and feeders. Any tips for keeping them from walking in their water dish and making a complete mess of it?

We setup a webcam for them, so if you need a dose of cuteness to brighten up your day, check out ustream.tv/channel/sight-unseen-chickens
