Do they have them sexed? I am looking to add some more to my flock and wanted a variety. In other news, I found a coop for free and I am hoping I can get to it before anyone else. It's nice! I need another coop ASAP.

we have about two foot here today and still falling. I'm going to have to take this as a time to prepare for next year. my girls and guys aren't enjoying the cold. We have been putting the coop ramp up at night (it's attached to a rope and pulls up to enclose the coop) and they take all the...

sorry everyone, haven't been on in a couple days. Found out some bad news about my blood sugar, so I have been dealing with that. But, in other news, I am ready to get me some turkeys!

So, just this week, I went to the doctor for headaches (been having them for months and they were starting to worry me). They called back the next day with my blood-work results and concluded I have hypoglycemia, and to get on a diet ASAP. Here is the thing, I am lost on what to eat or what to...

One, I love that you are starting this new adventure ! I just started in August, and I LOVE IT! Two, I have an American Bulldog as well, Luke :) He's almost 2 and finds that they are more of a prey than anything. So just keep an eye on him :) Three, welcome! any questions just ask !

I will have to let you know what breed. Currently we have our flock at my dad's house since he is in the country and we are in a town. He's more of the "I need this breed" person. I could care less. I would just like a more docile breed because my kids love our chickens and pet them all the...

Welcome ! :) Those border collies always think that they need to herd something!

Thank you for your service! Glad to see your enjoying chickens just like the rest of us! Welcome to BYC!

you are so much closer, plus I have tow truck drivers in that area, lol. One day I should make them pick them up ! they would love the company, hahaha.

do you have a picture?

I would love to take some ! Of course I wouldn't be able to put them in the coop right away anyways, so I have some time to get ready, lol.

Welcome ! :)

My coop door is usually always open, the run door on the other hand gets closed right when the sun starts setting. I let the chickens decide what they want to do. I am sure that if it's too cold for them they will go to the warm coop and huddle up. Otherwise, they are the bosses.

lol, I drove about an hour and a half for 2 silkies for my kids, because they wanted the "fluffy ones". But I will def. let you know! Just have to set up shop for them :)

doesn't make a difference to me, lol. We still love him. All the other ones I have and seen have the normal black skin, etc. He doesn't, he's an oddball.
