    New chicks!

    Today I brought home 3 new chicks. An Ameracauna, a White Orpington, and a Cuckoo Maran. They will be 3 weeks on Monday. It's 83.7 degrees in the room. Do I still need to provide additional heat? I have a heating pad, but I didn't put it in yet. Right now they're sleeping side by side...

    To raise or not to raise?

    A few of you may know about the terrible end my last chicks met. However, as fall approaches, I am more and more intrigued to get another brood. I miss hearing little peeps all the time and miss seeing cute little fuzz balls run around all the time. What are your thoughts? Should I get chicks again?
