A Real Story: Bleu the Silkie
A number of years ago, I hatched a small group of Silkies in an incubator That was an experience in and of itself, so fun and honestly, a little stressful It always makes me wonder in awe how mama hens do it so naturally Chicks need just the right temperature and humidity to hatch It’s incredible
When I got back into chickens a few years ago, I started in the fall Our local farm supply store didn’t carry chicks in the fall, so I mail ordered our babies! At first, I was a little hesitant to do that I had a lot of questions such as, “How on earth do they stay alive? Will they be weak and listless by the time they get here? Will it be too cold for them?” And the list went on However, after safely ordering chicksIs it Safe to Mail Order Chicks?
