R&R Chickens New Chicks

[MRMiniFarm]

R&R Chickens is a father & son project started by me(Kenneth Robinson) and my oldest son(Dillan Robinson). We are starting actually for his FFA/SAE project. I ordered him 30 pullets and 3 roosters from Ideal Hatchery Fri. Aug. 31.They are supposed to be here on Fri. Sept.7. We are also getting some other chickens from a guy in the next town over. So any advise or suggestions well be greatly appreciated.

If you are getting chickens from 2 different suppliers keep them separate for the first 4 weeks, just to make sure neither carry any disease or other unpleasantness like mites. If they can all see each other it would make integrating the 2 flock much easier when the time comes.

Had to cancel the order from Ideal, but found some locally. We have them in 2 different sheds & pens right now.
