Post by: alexander on September 17, 2012, 03:36:20 pm

3 weeks ago we picked up a selection of chicks from Victorian Farmer, rhode island red, columbian blacktail and black rock
 
All good, healthy chicks at a good price and growing nicely
 
Thanks VF!

Would love to see piccies too but have just sorted out placing photos on my iPad so cannot help with your question, sorry.

Wow, that's a noisy authoring of chicks on the videon :D

They look like a good, healthy lot of chicks. Just wished I'd had a setup for them now. Hopefully in the spring all will be set to introduce another 3 hens to our little flock of 3.

Yes, very small scale here  ::).  Understocked at present. Not ideal for their coop, will be filling it with boxes this winter to help with heating levels and hopefully get a quarantine setup next spring for introductions  :fc:
