***Update CHICKS!!!***
We went to Tractor Supply yesterday as soon as they got their new shipment of chicks in. The chicks that they had yesterday were "Red Pullets" and "Ameraucana straight run". We got 7 chicks at first...6 "Red Pullets" which consist of RIR's Production Red's and NHR's and the 7th pullet was an Easter egger or so they say Ameraucana. We brought them home set up the brooder and put them in there to get warm and eat and drink. They are all so sweet and come to me when I put my hand down in the brooder. Later that day we had to go back to tractor supply and get smaller feeders of waters because the feeders we bought earlier that day were taking up too much room in the brooder. So we had to get the quart size feeders and waters. But before we left to get the smaller feeder and waters I ask if anyone would mind me getting one more Eater Egger so the one I got earlier would not be the "odd ball out" they all said "sure why not!!" So we got to Tractor supply and saw that all most all of the eater eggers were gone! To make a long story short we got two more easter eggers and one more red pullet that brings our total up to 10 chicks...Darn that chicken math LOL. They are all doing great eating drinking POOPING A LOT!! and sleeping. we had one little red pullet to almost get sick because she had a poopy butt and was clogged up...but we soaked her butt in warm water and it came right off and she is better now. and they three that we got later yesterday are all getting along with the ones we got earlier yesterday. I got up three time during the night last night to go down to make sure everyone was still ok and every time I saw them they were all laying together.
