Agreed! We're in Ontario (1hr west of Toronto) and looking to start our flock again with Chanteclers. Any tips for sourcing chicks or pullets? are you close to Erin?

speaking of performance poultry...I ordered some Blue whiting chick's from them

Hello and welcome!

Welcome...where abouts in Canada are you at? I live outside of Erin, Ontario. I'm a newbie also to chickens. I started back in June with 5 chick's and now have 14 chickens...it becomes addictive. Im by no means an expert but I might be able to answer some questions given my little experience...

Saw the forum about naming your chicken coop...didno know people were so passionate about it. So I decided to get on that wagon and go back to my German roots and name my chicken coop (House of the crazy chickens) Started on this last night...really easy to do...very rewarding to see done...

Since your passionate about chickens selling it for you will be easy.I always believe that when a salesperson truly believes in the product they are selling then it's much more convincing.

Overly excited a little too much..lol The temp in the container is 30 degree...is that OK?

So I picked up 3 chicks tonight 2 Americauna's and 1 black copper marans

It's all good...it takes some getting used too

Am actually picking up 2 Americauna chicks today and my other 5 tomorrow. Is there a trick to know if I'm picking a male or female?
