When the do get to free range, twice a day for a few hours, they go crazy chasing bugs and eating everything green. Our "Flock" if you will, consists of 5, to... read more

We moved to our home in the country in May 2012 after living in Omaha for 8 years.  Our first priority was getting the coop fixed up and adding those fluffy yellow chicks.  But in June the stores were limited to four black-sex links and two Rhode Island Red.  Our kids 10 and 7 were in love.  I needed more and we found a nice man who sold us a black cochin pair who were a year if we bought several other 4 week old chickens.  Old English Bantams, Buff Bantam, and a trio of barred Bantam.  We ended up with more roosters than I realized but Captain is the most personable... read more
