The teens and I just picked up a dozen chicks yesterday, Cornish Giants. Hoping we get a few hens and a rooster out of the lot.
Man, are these babies adorable!
We live on a small acreage, 20 acres of trails and a couple of pastures for our 4 horses, 2 dogs and 2 ferrets.
We thought about trying our hand at chicken rearing. We are hooked! Between the kids and myself, we spend a lot of time reading about feed, coops, brooders, nesting boxes....the list goes on and on. So fascinating.
If you have any tips on starting chicks, please feel free to share. We hope all our chicks survive to chickenhood. Any suggestions are welcome.

We are glad you joined this flock!
Glad you joined.
Check the learning center for info on caring for chicks. They grow fast, hope you have a coop ready
