Our dear friends, like more family than our family, just brought us 23 barred rock chicks, they told us that they have been looking for chicks for us for some time. They said they only paid 25 cents each, they asked the salesman a number of times if that was the correct price but we all figure it should have been $2.25 each. Yesterday I set up the 2'X2'X8' metal water tank in the chicken coop with a heat lamp, dried wood chips in the bottom, a feeder and a waterer. This has all happened when we were down to our last old hen (still laying) and one nasty old rooster, both have been adopted while the chicks are growing up. We are so blessed to have such great neighbors that are dear friends.
