Response to new chickens

Shaun: pretty good advice from everyone here. We got chicks this year for the second time, but half the first order arrived DOA, so the hatchery replaced the entire order. Now, we have chickens everywhere! Yikes! It is a real challenge to keep them all warm, as we kept them in the basement under lights for the first two weeks,then moved them to the chicken house, still under lights, but gradually moving them higher. They are getting crowded, so we have to get something else worked out and fast! Good luck, they are fun to watch, and the eggs are so much better than those store-bought types! You'll get nice brown eggs at about 5 to 6 months of age from the rhodies. Jan
