Well it finally happened...after begging DH to "let" me have some chickens to add to out menagerie, he finally relented!
We stopped my TSC last night to pick up some horsey stuff and they had chics!
We ended up with 2 bantam (which I now know means small, was thinking it was a breed before) chics and 4 of...something else, I think two of them are cornish Rocks,the two blacks, I have no idea... They were all straight run, so I dont have any idea whether they are hens or roos yet.
I am so glad to have found BYC, since before today I havent had the slightest clue about chickens other than they lay eggs... I've learned quite a bit just from wandering your forum!
I'll ad a pic I took of them this morning... for now they are living in the bathtub in my spare bathroom. They are about a week to two weeks old I think?
