I'm pretty sure they allow chickens in Mississippi. At least they did when I was a kid visiting family. What part of Mississippi are your folks in?

psst... it's right under her name.  Summerville.  If you are on the west side of Atlanta, she's about an hour and a half from you. 

Yeah, I'm an hour and nineteen minutes exactly.

They live in a gated lake community in Lauderdale MS so they can't have any livestock/chickens. They are both retired now and my mom wants to move this way but my dad is another story.

Not familiar with that area. My family hails from greater metropolitan Tupelo.

We are originally from Meridian MS but my parents moved out to Lauderdale about 17 years ago. I bet you've heard of Meridian. I-20 59 goes right through the middle of Meridian.

Isn't there a Naval Air Base there? Seems like we went to Meridian the time I went there for training.

Can anyone tell me if baby chicks need anything extra besides the chickfeed to eat? (They are 4weeks old).

Fresh vegetables are a nice treat. Maybe some kind of greens. I also start introducing mine to bugs and worms fairly young.

Yes, that would be in Lauderdale

As long as they have been exposed to grit aka dirt they can have just about anything ok for chickens like grass, bugs, veggies, etc.
