    Congrats! Chicks are so fun, aren't they?!? And cute, too! I used to have a white silkie rooster, they are beautiful chickens. Right now I've got 50 chicks. (Cochin and Frizzle Bantams) My dad raises pheasants and poultry.

    Can't wait for the pictures!

    I know what yah mean!! If you ever get ducklings never stick them in with chicks because they will get each other all wet and will die. My dad and I learned from experience with putting them together.

    dab_20- i saw your other posts in my "chicken questions" topic. i will probably PM you A LOT!LOL i want to raise my chicks right! i don't think i'll be getting any ducks. if i have a pond some day i might get some pekin ducks.

    yup, they are in my room. i have them in small dog crate lined with newspapers. i don't want to put wood shavings on the bottom of the crate because they might get "pasty butt" 2 of them already do, but i'm trying to take care of that. dab_20, i'll be PMing you about this.

    when they are about 6-8 weeks and healthy they will be moved to the 7x13 chain link kennel in the back yard. i'm going to put a few feet of chicken wire around the bottom and over the top so no preditors can get them.

    It's fine, you can PM me whenever. If I don't know the question I can always ask my dad! The kennel sounds good... is it a cement floor?? If it is, I would suggest putting hay down.

    We do use wood shavings... ours haven't gotten 'pasty butt' before. Newspapers sound fine though... sounds like you've got some lucky little chicks.
