Heya.
I am wondering if it is alright to buy chicks in the late summer in New England. Our winters can be harsh... will the chicks be ready to be in an unheated coop by then? I'm thinking we will be able to buy chicks in late September, and I just want to get opinions on it. Should I wait till spring to buy them (Which I don't want to do because I'm excited to get started LOL), or should I buy already grown chickens from our local fair??? Just wondering! Thanks in advance!!
