In reply to gab. It's on the wall at an IFA in Utah. I assume that it came from their chick supplier... I love it too! If you find one you should let me know.

I love that chicken poster! I am dying to know where I can find one that not only includes all thee breeds but also has the chicks, hen, rooster, and eggs. Genius!

I just drove by the IFA in Provo like yesterday which was shocking, I didn’t even know we had one. Good tip on the chicks. Also, does this mean you are now potty training 4 little ones? That is a strange amount money for a chicken coop but happy chickens equal more eggs??

We are headed to IFA later today! Your story made me laugh, but seriously good job on saving the babies! We had a black widow in our kitchen in Provo. Yuck! Not cool.

Melissa, first of all. You can buy chicken diapers if you want your chickens in the house! I wouldn’t do it, but I’ve heard of someone who actually does. Second of all, chickens are a blast. I love mine. Yes, handling them will make them friendlier. And chicks are adorable. We’ve been going to our farm store just to look at chicks too. Congratulations on your babies!

In reply to Katie. The names. Oh the names. They are highly debatable at the moment. May wants to name them crazy things like "shingles on the tower". I, on the other hand, am leaning toward old lady names like Pearl and Ethel.

The internet says you only have to wipe them for 2ish weeks... I hope that true but I'll let you know!

In reply to TJ.

I’ll be honest. I was so uninvolved in my parents chickens. They were Adam’s and I was in high school when they got them… I am totally learning for myself on this one. So anything else I should know you just tell me! Thanks for the encouragement and I love the term “hobby farm”! That is me!

When you said they were sick in one of the other posts, my first thought was ‘pasty butt’. But, honestly, I thought since your mom had chickens and your grandparents had chickens…. that you probably had already thought of that and it was something else. I’m so glad you have a neighbor friend who you can call 🙂 The more you ‘hobby farm’ the more you get used to the stuff that is kinda gross and hard. Not that it ever gets fun, but you can take care of business without the gag reflex–honest!
