I finally have a coop- have the run planned- but am STILL dithering about getting chicks when the time comes, or asking around about older juveniles. Having read everything I can find, I still don't quite understand how many days I have to check them hourly if I get baby chicks. I work, HAVE to work, and if I get chicks, would at the most get 4 days straight to babysit. Is that enough? Then I would be at work 8 hours a day- too far away to check on them at lunch. Or should I stick with the juvenile idea? Opinions, ideas gratefully accepted.
