Sounds like it might be a pretty big storm but the little ones don't know it but they may be sleeping in the book coop house tonight!

Need some advice. My chicks just turned 6 weeks yesterday. They have been doing day trips for about a week now and the older chicks leave them alone 95% of the time. It's been nice and warm during the day and they have been out when it is 65 and warmer. I want today to be they day they stay...

Sad to report we are left with 5. The two original that did not look good ended up passing on the first day. The other 3 passed the next day but we started noticing they were looking lethargic that first night. I tried to nurse them but by the next morning they were gone. :hit With all my...

☝️ I have them in different heights and they run to the one they feel more comfortable under.

No extra. I had 12 exactly. Their website says they do refunds so I will fill out the form after 48 hours and see what they say. They have a heat source. I use a sweeter heater so in the picture is the white long things

FIrst picture!

I expected to pick them up because I called them and that is what they told me as well. The tracking on the site threw me off because it said out for delivery. I tried calling the office they were at but they never picked up so I decided just to show up ... and it worked out great

*sigh* wish there was more info between these two dots ....... Also ... all the little ones I got. I hope they all make it!

Yes! that is my plan. When I go to pick them up I will have food and warm water with NutriDrench (thanks for the reminder). I will be turning on the warm light really early to make sure the area is warm and ready for them.

LOL The roller coaster of emotions!! Thank you!

i want the bad... :(

Long time chicken mama but first time ordering chicks through the mail and having a freak attack. Just need some nice words to tell me everything will be ok (hopefully) I usually get my chicks locally but this year decided to get some breeds that are not usually found around me. I ordered 12...

I had a new set up which made it easier and I have a husband who luckily did not complain about the mess and dust. Historically, I start taking them outside around the 6 week mark if weather permits and by 8 weeks they have a sectioned off area in the run where they stay during the day. So...

So far doing well and have survived the downpour and extreme winds. I have temporarily put tarps over another section, so they do have place to go to other than the original covered area. They did get wet but seem to doing dealing with it well. I think this crew grow up a little tougher. Not...
