I've seen some chicks at auction, but I'd recommend waiting until they were off lights. They would probably get chilled sitting in boxes in the barn.
The Auction at yard birds has pens with lights for chicks!!

Is that in Chehalis?
Yes. Good reason for ya to come down.!

Sounds like you guys made a nice score! Mr. Weigh sounds like a nice person and that Russian Roo looks Awesome. I hope your Inc. works great and the hatch is flawless. Could you message me Mr.Weigh's contact info please. It sounds like a cool place Mikayla my partner in chicken crime and I may need to visit. Does anybody have a dog house for rent if we make it out there I may need a place to sleep! Lol

RobJ- the roo in the picture is a silver leghorn.

To see the Russian Orloff, do a search for breeds on BYC and click on "images" to see them. His were already in bed when we went, and it was to dark for a photo where they were bed down. They look similar to speckled sussex in color, but with beards and sideburns. He sells hatching eggs $20 per dozen if you drive there.

Erhart Weihs (pronounced "wise") is pretty close to Flaming Geyser State park. If you travel this way, be sure to give us a holler- we're 15-20 minutes from his place and would meet up!

We lived in Tumwater for 3 years - up above the falls. I really, really miss the Olympia Co-Op! The place up here they call a "co-op"- PCC Natural markets, is a joke of a "co-op", IMHO. I've been wishing we could stock up on a few of our favorite bargains there- bulk ACV & Raw agave, and some dried soup blends that make rushed dinners and camping trips much easier. When we drive to Oregon, we always stop and stock up on our way back.

Don't worry, I'm leaving them alone Thing is...they weren't hatched by her, so she isn't going to take them out and show them food or water for a couple days. They are now 4 days old (one of them is 11 days old) and NEED food and water, but they weren't coming out from mama to get it. That's why I am taking extra care to watch how they're doing.

We've been considering getting some bees- but first we've got a LOT to learn. Hives are no small investment !

For now, we pick up a few bars of beeswax and a gallon or 2 of honey when we stop and see Harvard.

How many hives do you have CR?

Holy crapamole! I just went out to look and the chicks were chirping like crazy and Lucy was clucking. I have NO idea how, but Dartha my Australorp was in the nest box with them all and she had laid an egg!

And she was looking at the babies and even nuzzled one. I hope she's broody next

Lots of little babies. They are so cute. And yes I know they get big. But I have enough room lol
