Family Fun | Raising Chicks


I've always wanted to raise chickens but thought it might be too much work.  After a lot of internal debate, extensive reading and talking to people who have done it, I finally decided to take the plunge and go for it.

My plan was to start with pullets, but Z & L convinced me otherwise.  So after a visit to a local feed store, we walked out with five little chicks.  And now the journey begins.

Any helpful hints for raising happy, healthy chicks?
