I am getting chicks this week. So exciting! I will be sure to take photos and post. Yay!
Re: Chicks man!
Really? To raise for eggs, I assume? How cool! I've always heard that fresh eggs taste so much better...I just can't imagine what they'd taste like.

For now the chicks will stay inside where it is warm. In about 12 weeks they will be ready to move outdoors to a coop. You need to make sure the coop is warm enough for winter and that their water will not freeze.
When I saw the subject of this post, all I could think of was the Dane Cook routine where he said "Chicks man, where I can get some chicks? Oh, aisle 3? Ok! Chicks dude, chicks!"
But that's really cool! I think DH and I want to do that, too. When we get out of our apartment of course, haha.
That's funny, Laina, because I thought of The Soup with Joel McHale and the segment "Lets talk about chicks, man." DH loves that show.
How exciting about the chicks! I've always thought that would be great, except for the whole we live in an apartment thing. I didn't realize how much work it can be or how hard it can be until I read about it on someone's blog.

I'm sure you've done your research, but this could be helpful too, she goes into a lot of detail about her experience.
I was quoting Joel! Ha ha ha!
My husband actually had chickens growing up so this isn't new to him. It is all new to me though. I am excited!
