Tonight is my chicks first night outside. The coop isn't totally finished, but most of the remaining work is another coat of paint on the orange and the addition of a few hasps on the one set of shutters and the front door. I'm still trying to figure out what I want to do to cover the dog kennel...

The girls had their first field trip today, I think they enjoyed themselves. The coop is coming along nicely. I'm hoping to get most of the construction done tomorrow, then getting the painting done, the white is just primer.

My first full week of chicks has been interesting, we all seem to have survived pasty butt, my chicks have discovered cornbread, whole wheat bread and raw oatmeal (both old fashioned, and steel cut). All eleven chicks are getting wing feathers and eight are sprouting tail feathers and attempting...

I had an unforgettable moment last night, my niece and her son (my great-nephew) Brody came over last night, Brody is about two and one-half years old and has never seen live chickens before. My niece was telling him about the "chick chicks," and told him to come see the "chick chicks," and they...

Just bought one of your shirts in red.

Thanks for your first hand experience, it's very helpful.

I've got a thermometer in on the floor of my brooder and due to the fact the chicks have no problem laying directly under the lamp, nor are they all scattered away from the lamp, I don't believe heat is an issue. They go out from the lamp to eat and drink, but they come back under to sleep, they...

I couldn't stand it, five chicks just wasn't enough. I had five Barred Plymouth Rock chicks delivered from efowl.com on Friday, but my little flock looked so small, I couldn't stand it. Yesterday (Saturday), I knew I had to act fast, I went to the TSC here in Anderson and they had ISA Brown...

I have not had the opportunity to test it myself, but I've seen in a video a lady says to feed a ration of whole corn in addition to regular feed to help keep hens laying through cold weather, I've thought it will be worth a try when my chicks get old enough. Keep in mind this lady lives...

My chicks (Barred Plymouth Rocks) arrived this morning from eFowl.com, all have arrived alert and healthy. All are eating food, grit and drinking water just fine. The adventure begins.

Somebody encouraged me to post pictures of my coop. They may have unleashed a monster. This is Ronnie, I'm not sure if he's a rooster or not, but I perched him on top of my chicken run, he's kinda homely looking, but I couldn't resist. I bought this coop on ebay for $229.90 + tax, I wasn't...

I used to live on West High St. in Pendleton, right next to the building that used to be ASA Racing, if you know where that is.

It's basically done now, all I've got left is to mount a couple roosting bars inside, I'll be sure to post some pictures when I get it finished.

A am new to chickens, and at the moment, I have none. I am however expecting delivery of some Barred Plymouth Rock chicks at the end of the month from efowl.com, this will be a new adventure for me. I've got my brooder setup and still currently working on my coop, but should have it completed...

I'd love to keep bees too, but I live in town (Anderson) and my neighbors are close, they might not like it. o.O

I'm kinda new here too, just today I discovered there is a Hoosier thread for Indiana folks like us, you might want to check it out: https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/730582/indiana-bycers-here Welcome! I hope you enjoy the site.

Hi Everybody, I'm not really new to BYC, I've been a spectator for maybe a couple of years now, I had an old profile, but I used my real name rather than an avatar name when I started it and I decided I might want to change that so I started a new profile, because I couldn't figure out how...
