  3. This is a dangerous time of the year to go into most any farm supply store...

    I had one for chicks and different one for turkeys (I read somewhere not to mix them).
    Building one a little large is not a problem as they move to where they are comfortable. I have not done this since they outlawed regular light bulbs..

  4. Looks like meat birds mixed with layers. We raise meat birds every year, let them free range, tasty!

  6. Reminds me... in '97 or so I was in Minnesota and waiting for chicks I'd ordered. Early one Sunday morning I get a call from the Solway, MN post office, my chicks are in and can I come get them? In the background I can hear them :-), I'll bet that car sounded like that!
