I did something similar to this when I had some breeding English lops. It was awesome. I didn't have a lot of predators but I lined the run with pavers that were I think 12x12. The buns loved it. I also had covered dog crates as they loved to be in them or be on top of them (think like a goat...

Yes and no.....Some breeds just don't like to be handled a whole lot like that. I don't currently have any buns right now as my daughter is allergic but I have had them on and off most of my life. My favorite is to sit criss-cross and they would lay in between my legs and stay there for a long...

Moderators, can we stop the thread?

Not what I asked......if I have questions then I will do so

Thank you to those who actually answered my question and helped me figure out the best option for my new chicken family. That was what I had wanted help for. At no point did I ever ask for opinions about me being a vegetarian and what I will and will not eat. I also did not give anyone else my...

The only animal products I eat are eggs and cheese. Occasional milk when it's in products already. I personal will probably never be vegan.....i love cheese :)

Thank you ❤️

Thank you so much for commenting on my thread and the info you gave and more importantly for you understanding my questions.

That’s a great idea! Thank you! That’s even better than the incubator since my daughter will be active in the whole process. Thank you for understanding the conviction part 😉

I try but fail a lot …..thank you though😊

Either way I wanted chickens too. I would have chosen a different bred though. They have leasing at her school for goats. I was trying to get her to do Alpaca’s b/c we know enough to get started with those but she ended up falling in love with silkies and changed her mind…..2 totally different...

I wish she could do rabbits!!!!!! She’s allergic and that’s one of the animals I raised in FFA! Rabbits are my absolute favorite; English lops, hollands, and mini Rex. We eat eggs but not a ton and with my daughter wanting to do silkies for 4H I figured it was a win win. Thank you 😊

I’m sure there are a lot…..you can add mine to the mix 😂😉

Thank you all so much for the information I was looking for. We will forgo the rooster. It’s not the first time in life I wasn’t able to do what I wanted 😂

Thank you for being helpful. I really appreciate it. What is your opinion on bringing a rooster over when we would like chicks? My friend has about 40 silkies and I can borrow a rooster from her. We would incubate the eggs from the first ten days. The rest, I would give away to family members...
