| You can check Craig's List for chicks, alot of people will get them from hatcheries and then post the extras on there. There is also a website called My Pet Chicken: Purchase a Chicken Coop, Baby Chicks, Raise Chickens in Your Backyard, Learn About Chicken Breeds! that lets you order just a few chicks. Hope this helps!!

Donating YT 10K Club Member | I made an incubator using a box lined in foil and a light bulb for chicken eggs as a kid. I had to get up every 2 hours and rotate those things too. I taught my chicks....tricks! I was alaskayorkie BEFORE there was an alaskayorkie. Any way...you're right...they are not cute long.

| Kyle -- If you decide to hatch chicks in the house please be careful. Several years ago, I hatched some cochins inside because I wanted them to "bond" to me. I had them safely in a box on the top of a counter. When I came home from work, something was wrong..... Chattie was on her favorite chair and she had a "squeeky toy". She was really upset 'cause the toy wasn't squeeking anymore. I was heartbroken 'cause her "toy" was my favorite of the baby chicks. It had hopped to the top of the box (how I don't know) and had fluttered to the floor..... enter Chattie and the terrier terror hunting instinct..... The remaining chicks went down to the barn and were safely installed in a stall. If you haven't found the chicks/eggs yet, check to see if your state has an "ag" newspaper -- Georgia has something called the "Farmers and Consumers Market Bulletin" that comes out twice monthly. It is a free publication and is also on the web -- Category Index |

We also had one like this one: Babies: http://www.jphpk.gov.my/English/BuffTurkenChix.jpg Adult: http://www.happyheartpets.com/images/turken.JPG Boo, I wanna move back to the country.
