Two boys I won in a Raffle. Kills me to part w them but I'm not allowed to have roosters in my town. :( I'm in New Haven county CT. Sold. Not sure how to delete.

Went to the poultry show in Springfield today and on a whim entered the chicken raffle. What's the harm I figured, right? What're the chances I actually win a bird. Well.....6 birds later!!! I'm now the proud mom of 4 new birds (2 I gave to my friend who met us at the show). I believe 2 are...

I have 4 ~6mo buff orps who learned about 2 wks ago that they could fly over the 7' fence that makes up their run. I let them free range in the yard anyway but now they're out their whenever they want, not just when I let them out. At night they have been roosting on the top of the fence and in...

Hello! I found some coops online that are significantly cheaper than a lot of the coops I have found. $400 for one that fits up to 6 chickens. It's made by urbanchicken.com I believe? They come disassembled so I'm sure that's some of the savings but was wondering if any of you have used them...

I've been on this site for awhile now but I don't think I've ever posted...I'm getting my chickens next week. Sooooo excited. Getting Orpingtons, not sure what color...I was planning on Buffs, but Lavenders are available right now. Any difference in utility between the colors? Everyone...
