Replacement batch came in today...everyone alive and well!

Next week looks like temps in the 60s and 70s just like last week...

Yeah we live in central Arkansas so not far from ideal. However our weather took a real nasty turn so there was no way they could have known...no complaints about customer service though. Talked to them today and they have already scheduled a reship date for next week, no questions asked. In...

Well they showed up this morning instead of tomorrow but no use...no survivors. Well there was one technically when I opened the box but he didn't make it the five minutes home...sad day

I have called the post office and the guy is a friend of mine. He offered to call as soon as they showed up so I could come pick them up.praying for tomorrow and not Friday...

So I am getting ready to get my first flock. My end goal is to have eggs and some meat for family use and for the kids to have the option of 4h project. I would like 6-8 birds to start with, and that will go broody and raise their own chicks so I have the option to breed them to continue my...

Hello. I have been cruising this site for info for over a year and am finally taking the plunge. I currently have no chickens and am almost finished with my coop. I am mostly interested in heritage breeds like mottled javas. I live in Arkansas and grew up around chickens. I want my kids to have...
