Thanks for the info. Yes, she is easily accessible. She's righ inside the coup. The nest is about 2-21/2 feet off the ground. There is a bar for them to jump on, then jump to the nest, not a ramp. So I was concerned about them falling out. I will just keep an eye and then get them all out...

I have a hen that has been broody for about a week now. She is glued to that nest! I have a few questions and would love some advice from those with more experience. 1. The nest is up high. The chicks wouldn't be able to get out unharmed. How do I go about moving everyone? Wait until they start...

Thinking about getting some chicks from them. Anybody have experience with them? Quality birds?

Considering getting some Salmon Favverolles from Northwoods Poultry. Any commentary or recommendations about them?

Joined the Facebook group!!!! Yay!!!! Thanks for the tip!

No apologies! That has been incredibly helpful! I really wanted to get into Favs because there are so few of them and they are a breed in need of being advanced (for lack of a better word). Once I decided on the breed, then I began my hunt for birds. But as you stated, the clear pools are few...

OK, I looked at Coastline Poultry but shied away from them since their colors are mixed. Does that matter when looking at getting show quality Favs? Won't their lines always carry the Blue color? Newby here trying to get it right. Would love to hear from those with more experience in this area.

I'm very close to Newnan! Going with a friend to the meeting this month! I just missed the show they had in February and am so sad! Heard there were some beautiful birds there!

Definitely sounds like you've got a lot going on! Welcome to BYC! I'm a noob myself, and have found some great information through the people on BYC.

Thanks for the response! Sending you a PM!

Hi! I'm new to BYC, and have been trying to find some fellow Georgians! I went to Where Am I, Where Are You thread, and right on top was "Yo Georgians!" Yay! I am looking to get some show quality birds to be able to show next Spring. I've been looking at various breeds that are on the Livestock...

I found this article very helpful. It was posted the day after I got 6 chickens after not having them for a while. It was a great reminder, and there were some things on there that I did not know. Great way to help me give my chickens the right kind of treats!

I'm so glad you posted this question, as I was wondering that myself! 5 Barred Rocks that I've had for just a week. Nearly everyday this week, they've given me 5 eggs, sometimes six. And then yesterday, 3. They are around a year too, and I didn't even think about them molting. Thanks for posting!

I'm getting back into chickens after a couple years without, and would really like to work with a breed that is on the endangered breeds list. I saw Blue Andalusians on the list, and think they are beautiful and am interested in starting a flock. Could anyone give me recommendations on where/how...

Thank you for the input! I do have oyster shell! Yay!

About a year old, all the hens are laying if that helps.

This past weekend I got a small flock of barred rocks (5 hens, 1 rooster). I would like to make sure that I'm giving them exactly what they need nutritionally. Could anyone give me some suggestions or guidelines on what I should be feeding them? Thanks!

Great idea! Sorry I didn't include that earlier. I am in Georgia, a little south of Atlanta.

Thank you so much! I may just take you up on that! So much information out there!

Thank you! I'm already finding so much in the forum! What a wealth of information!
