My memory is probably really bad but I thought I remembered you went last year for feed and came home with 50 free chicks. Maybe I dreamed that. Or maybe it was someone else. Who knows?????

Your memory is really really really bad. I'm not sure where you got that story from. :lau
 
sounds very exciting LindaB. Right now I don't have any chickens. I still need to design and build my coop and make an brooder. Right now I am in winter wonderland, Bellwood Il where we gotten over 6 inches of snow. I am taking care of my mom plus packing her house up. tp move her down to Shreveport.
 
I purchased 7 Orpington chick last week and am keeping them in a tote inside for the first couple of weeks, i lined the bottom with shavings, they are scratching and throwing the shavings into their water and feed, how can i prevent this? i do not lining the bottom with paper due to it getting soiled so quickly:( they also appear to prefer to scratch and peck spilled feed rather than eat out of the feeder? Help

You can raise your feeder and waterer and that will help with the shavings not getting in. I have used a brick and sat the feeder and water on the bricknto raisebit up. As far as the feed, you can make a mash for them (mix in water it have a consistency of mash potatoes, grits or oatmeal) or you can make and prepare fermented feed for them. There are several threads on BYC about fermented feed. It does help with waste. They can't scratch it out. Hope that helps.

Makes me hungry!! I'm so lucky that Angel is around the corner from me. I'm anxiously awaiting the next bunch. I think I can eat faster than they can get processed. Lol. Angel, I'm on your permanent client list, right??? Please......
