Re: Growing food Organically ATTN: CookieCows
There is a local hardware store that buys the chicks from a supplier, but the guy that runs the supplier is about 80 years old so I hope nothing happens to him. If that doesn't work a guy at work is ordering a bunch of chicks online and will let me piggyback on him. You have to order at least 25 to have them shipped.

Re: Growing food Organically ATTN: CookieCows
They are in a plastic container. They have to stay inside for at least four weeks, depending on the weather. They have to stay at 95F the first week 90 F the second then 85F the next week then 80F.

Re: Growing food Organically ATTN: CookieCows
Adorable chicks! I love the Barred Rocks. They'll look so pretty in that awesome chicken house!
We keep ours in a plastic container in the bathtub until they hit the 85 degree mark. Then they go into the chicken coop where there's a special enclosed home just for them. We hatch about 3 batches each summer. Predators wiped us out last year and as sad as it was, it allows me to now get all Barred Rocks to start over with! (They'll match our black and white 'oreo cookie cows') Have fun with your babies! Deb

Re: Growing food Organically ATTN: CookieCows
If you want to see the progress of the pullets (less than one year old hens) then go to Chicken Blog. My wife is doing a great job keeping this blog up.

Re: Growing food Organically ATTN: CookieCows
They are doing pretty well. We had two dog attacks but they all survived. Two went broody too so we got some fertilized eggs from a friend and hatched those. We had three chicks make it. Now we have to find a place for them to go when they get a bit older. I need to get the chicken blog up to date but I have been kind of lazy.
