Hello, mjanderson. Do you live here also?

I'm about 70 miles south, in the Lowcountry area. Not too far away.

Hey South Carolina, just joined a few days ago. We should be getting our chicks in about 2 weeks!! First time owning chickens, but we are adding them to our 5 dogs, 1 cat, 2 turtles and 4 little fish. Any one have any great advice for a first timer?

Welcome , as for advice... you will need more space than you think, And STUDY "Chicken Math". it is best to study it BEFORE you find out what it is.

We started with 9 chickens, then 15 guinea, then added 2 turkeys, then more chickens, guineas and turkeys and now have somewhere around a hundred birds

in all.

also DO NOT buy an incubator unless you make more housing or want to build more housing.

My silkie chicks are 2 days old now, I have 5 total. 7 hatched but two were culled for leg issues, poor babies couldn't walk. The rest look look pretty great so far! I'm loving the foot feathering!

We're they not splintable? What were the issues?
