I would like to have them as well. I would have to have them shipped too. I'm only in Alabama though so they would be in the mail less than 24 hours. I'd pay for shipping as long as you would make sure you follow the directions and ship the birds according to the usps directions for live...
As the title says i'm in North West Alabama. I'm looking to add to my backyard flock. I have all nearly grown pullets. I also have two 4 week old Black Star chicks. I'm especially interested in chickens that have not quite started laying yet or have just started laying. As a back yard chicken...
I'm in North Alabama. I'm looking for older pullets that are nearly ready to lay or have just started laying. I'm interested in several breeds. I'm a small backyard chicken farmer. Please let me know if you in the Shoals, Athens, or North Alabama area and have what I want.

My title pretty much says it all. I'm intersted in several breeds. If you are a hatchery that is within driving range please let me know. I don't want to raise from day old chicks this year.

I have not thought about sprinklers. I was going to put a big bucket in the deep freeze everyday and freeze it and put it in their coop. I have a massive, very nice freezer. Fred's 4th generation? white sex links are BEAUTIFUL and I would love to have a big beautiful white bird like that, that...
I'm really enjoying my sex link reds and blacks so much more of be true breed chickens. So much friendlier and they seem less frail and healthier. I've never lost one of my hybrids. I think the Reds are especially attractive hens. My barred rocks were raised exactly the same way and from day...
I read each and every single one of your post. I find your work fascinating. I purchased 4 red comets from a hatchery in Ohio. It's called chickensforbackyards.com I'm very new to this. I was under the impression that they simply bred a full blooded chicken to another full blooded chicken to...
Here is my whole flock minus the two oldest I'm trying to figure out what they are. www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10151376514872053&set=vb.722657052&type=2&theater
I have four Golden Comets, Two Barred Rocks, One white Leghorn and one bantam, larger chicken mix. The golden Comets are the...
I got these as very young chickens. My question is what do you think they are and do you think the red one is a roo? Just wondering. They are about ten to 12 weeks old.

I'm sorry. I don't see where I can add a picture of my coop. I can just add the url from where I bought it and remember I added runs. I have two of these. They are on the small side. http://compare.ebay.com/like/150876868013?_lwgsi=y<yp=AllFixedPriceItemTypes&var=sbar
The theory goes that just like in dogs chickens have recessive and dominant genes. When there is a chicken that is purebred just like in dogs then that chicken will have a greater chance of developing genes that are negative, unwanted, etc. It can work in a really good way if you are breeding...
I have Red Comets and a white Leghorn that I ordered from a hatchery that are all beautiful and purebred. Can't wait to post those. These were picked just to have a couple of older ones and I picked them based on temperment and being tame. Is it true that a sex link or mixed chicken is...
Please give me any and all of your opinions on sex and breed. The baby has greenish colored legs, the Red may be a mix but we were told was a RI Red. Not sure about the other larger black one. Estimiate on the two older pullets. You may can tell my the pic of my holding the red one in my...
I think they have single combs. The chick does have a bit of darker coloration on her but I would not say black. I will post some really good pics this weekend with my wifes camera. Thanks for your insight.

Thanks Daniel, I'm new as I said in my post. I've raised these 5 babies and they are now 15 or 16 days old today. It's not been too much work but I think I should have waited on the order of four mystery brown laying hens that are coming on the 5th or 6th. Only because it's getting cold...
Small but they have free range all day. It's prefabricated and we had to reinforce quite a bit but was only around 300. Not bad for such ease of putting together. I have found many others at better prices but my wife thought this would add to the appeal of the back yard and we would not look...
