[QUOTE="indi, post: 3060285, member: 24480"] I bought a bunch of chicks from Atwood’s. I bought 5 first time, then 2 or 3 or 4 every time I would go. I ended up with 26 of them. My wife banned me from going to Atwood’s...lol. Some died as little chicks couple days after bringing them home. It’s been about 1.5 years and I’m left with 7. 2 roosters and 5 hens.I lost 7 chickens last month to a fat raccoon. He left me with a heck of a story to tell. I had bantams, buff Orpington's, Australorp, Plymouth Rock, Rhode Island Red, guinea fowl, silver laced wyandotte I had one silky which my daughter loved the most and some others I can’t recall. I enjoyed the guinea eggs more than the chicken eggs. They all did fairly well in the heat as long as I did my part and gave them fresh water everyday. You can read online on how to sex the chicks, you can get pretty lucky. I’m 100% so far in selecting hens and that’s for about a dozen hens. I really enjoy watching the chickens roam the yard and run around. It’s therapeutic in a way. Good luck!! [/QUOTE]
