Re: [CHICKENS-101] New to Chickens

 

My Tractor Supply has them in right now.

Just read a post on local Craigslist that a lady bought two chickens at the flea market.  Got them home and they were coughing and sneezing and died.  Now her other chicks are sick.  Buy wisely!

With ten straight run chicks you may end up with only 2 or 3 hens (or, all 10 could be female, but less likely). They can be sexed at hatching by people who know how to do it. (I can't tell until they start crowing or laying.)

If you don't want to deal with roosters you can give them away via FreeCycle or CraigsList - just don't ask questions you don't want answers to. If you end up with more hens than you want you can sell/give them away. (Chances are, once you start keeping chickens, you will find you have a friend or two who would also like to have some.)

Your feed store may be selling chicks or know someone locally who has pullets.

Have fun!
