6 baby chicks or pullets are the newest to join our animals on the farm. We have 2 Ameraucana, 3 Rhode Island Red, and 1 Black Sex Link pullets. Mel & I had debated about whether to get any chickens this spring or not. We had seen an Amish chicken coop online, but the cost was $1500. That price tag took a lot of thought (those would be very expensive eggs!) so we decided not to pursue that route. After finding out we could get a chicken coop at Tractor Supply (thanks to Amberlea) and that it was on sale, we decided we would go into the "chicken business". They are the cutest little things and boy, can they eat!
