    Hi Folks,
    
    Anybody know how to get young chicken hatchlings to be raised as 
    a family/neighborhood project, handled gently by young children
    to keep them tame, that kind of thing.... A co-worker not familiar
    with our notes conference asked me about this, so thought I'd give
    the question a try here.  He wants to get ten young chicks this
    Spring.
    
    Thanks...
    
    Linda

|     Hi Linda,
    
         Chicks usually have to be bought in batches of 25; that's the
    smallest number the hatcheries sell as that's the minimum amount of
    "bodies" to keep warm during shipping (in the mail, no less ;^) !).
    
         We are placing an order this weekend, so if your friend wants 10
    we can include them in our order ... does he/she have a brooder or
    would they want us to brood for six weeks?
    
         Reply here or in mail, whichever you'd prefer ...

|     Hi Andrea,
    
    I'll see my friend this afternoon and check with him.  He's a Digital
    employee also, so I'll copy your mail to his account and have him
    start a dialogue directly.
    
    Thanks very much!
    
    Linda
