Funny you mention it I just went out to give them fresh rain water and only 4 ran back to the corner, two stood and gave me a good look over lol. I gave them corn on the cob earlier lol

I checked each one as I took them out of the carrier, all clean. They look great but they just haven't been socialized at all. I guess that's what hatchery birds are like.

sorry I missed your reply. We bought 4 nigerian dwarf goats instead.

My run and coop are combined I can't lock them inside. We have too many predators to free range here unfortunately. Maybe I will just take my shelf down to limit choices. I've been bringing in clover and dandelion but they huddle in the corner lol. Guess it will take time. They are pretty though.

Thank you for the replies and the info on pale combs I didn't know that. I am happy with them but they are SO skittish and run for their lives when I come in the coop. Then 3 of them roost on my shelves in the pen instead of the inside roost. I guess I will have to add a new roost for them in the pe...

So far so good, three have pale combs though so I am hoping they will be ok and settle in fast.They were only at the store for 1/2hr before I picked them up.

Thank you so much I wasn't sure how it works. I am getting 6 silver sasso ready to lay. Looking forward to getting them. I only have a 20 minute drive home thankfully. Getting my coop ready this weekend with extra waterer and feeder.

Good morning :wave: I have a question about picking up a chicken order from Freys. I ordered 6 RTL, do they come in a crate or box or do I need to bring one. Wondering how the process works when the chickens arrive at a feed store, I didn't think to ask but this morning I am thinking about it :lol: ...

I was noticing that too, even seeds are high priced.
