Good luck with your chickies.

fours2many,
I love how all your chicks have perfectly posed photos. I could never get ours to stand that still. We had trouble counting them to make sure we received all in the shipment!
Yours are like perfect little chickie models!
Lots of Luck with them!

Awesome kids!

Our TSC isn't getting peeps in until next week so I am like a kid on Christmas eve night. This is the first time for us to keep chickens and I can't wait.
I have been reading everything I can get my hands on and still want to read more. My wife is already sick of hearing me talk about them. I bet she won't be able to leave them alone once they get home.
Wish me luck and don't get made if I ask to many questions or send to many pics.

I'm jealous! All our local TSC's only carry Red Sex Link and Cornish every year, and they are so inept at it that lots of people end up getting meat birds they never intended to buy. I called all 3 TSC's in driving distance last year to ask what breeds they were selling and got the same response from all of them "We carry pullet and straight run breeds".

The rooster my friends got from them grew up to be the nastiest, meanest bird I've ever met!
I'm stuck ordering from a hatchery if I want any cool breeds. Ah well - not that I need anymore anyway!

It is our first time with chickens too. We are really loving it. So cute. Some are very quiet when you hold them and some just cry and want to be put back down. We are trying not to hold them to often, but let them see us, through the clear plastic brooder all the time. 1 cries when we leave the room. When we come back, it stops. It is really funny to see the little EEs. trying to go under the Cornish chicks. They will even try and stand under them when the others are eating. They are not cold, brooder is 94.8. I think they are just trying to hide under a momma.

Oh well, need to clean this brooder out again. They really do poop a lot!!!

Oh yeah...my husband was ok with our daughter's and I having chickens. He even said he would build the coop, but the care of them was our responsibility. Well...yesterday, he helped me clean the brooder and move the chicks to a holding box. Of course he talks to each one, removed a small piece of poop from one, and just enjoyed helping me. He watches them all the time too. How could anyone not? They are just too cute!
