Often some will get chicks in that late, if not check craigslist or other local breeders. Are you looking for specific varieties?I'm not able to buy my chicks until the end of May. Do most feed stores continue to sell them that late?

Gulp. A bobcat was on our property today!I've never seen one before...until today! It scared me so bad! Our chickens free range!! It was staring at my son and my daughter. Beautiful animal but YIKES!!
My chicks are a month old. I just have a heat lamp over them, a 60 W bulb. I have it on 24 seven right now. In the house. My coupe does not have electricity. I think they are about half feathered out. It's still getting into the 30s at night and often raining. 50s and 60s during the day, and often raining when can I move them outside to a coop? All the threads I find on this topic seem to deal with coops with electricity. Their temporary coop, until I get the new one built and integrate them all at the same time, will be a pen with a dog crate.

Be so careful with bobcats! I just had a female bobcat take 9 of my hens a couple months ago. Climbed a 6ft fence at 6:30pm. I walked in on her as she was piling them up saving them for later. She will never be back but the damage was done. I keep a much closer eye on my chickens and they spend more time locked in their run but even though they complain it is for their own good. We also have coyotes that will take chickens if they are out and unattended.
A friend of mine just had 3 chickens beheaded by a suspected weasel. Keep a close eye on your birds... the predators are out and hungry this time of year!
no matter how precious are birds are just be safe of the peopleYep...that's exactly what we were thinking. No way kitty kitty!
