[wingstone]

really folks, I wll not be getting any chicks, poults, ducklings, keats...did I miss any....untill this time next year, except thse already order from crazypetlady and also a dozen from reesepoultry, not sure what I willdo with these.
I do plan on coming home with lots of other things, I already have a list of folks wanting me to grab them some soaps and things like that...if anyone makes chicken diapers,please bring some, hubby wants homemade root beer, I got no clue how to make that......I better sign up for overtime, I may need it to pay for all this.

Yes. Very similar to chicks. 90* for the first 7 days, then decrease 5* each week. After 6-8 weeks and well feathered, they can tolerate down to 50*. Also, don't forget the extra niacin!

typically how old are the chicks and ducklings at TSC? The guy there didnt know exactly how old they were. Gotta admit, the ducklings were a total impluse buy

 

[Bettacreek]

they should be ABOUT 3-4 days old, if it takes the typical 2-3 days to ship.

Well, I took an impromptu trip to Sharpesburg MD today. I picked up some very cute mottled black Cochin bantams from MsBear!

I sent the Blue Orp rooster with suspected split wing to the auction. I checked both wings thoroughly and he definatly had it on one side. That is okay, it made it easier to choose between Orps and LF Cochin!!!!

Heather, I wish I had known. I was just in Grantville yesterday, too. Of course, we were going to pick up a car from the Salvage Direct lot...
