Chicken are a really BAD hobby to get into..
No matter what you have you want something different.
No matter how many you have, you want more.
No matter, if you start with chickens, then you want ducks, turkeys, pheasant ...
Yeah, someone should have warned me.
I would love, love, love to get some Giants, I think they are beautiful birds.However as you have pointed out before it takes them so long to mature and having them for meat just isn't feasible and with our Urban coop/yard situation being what it is its even worse because I really don't have...
A lot has been going on here, it's crazy. Good news first, my husband got to take his collar off from his neck surgery and is back at work.
Bad news #1- Greg (my husband has very little new bone growth, after the surgery.
Bad news #2- Greg's surgeon has ordered a bone growth stimulator...
Wow, I'm so sorry about Raptor he truly was a beautiful cock. I hope all works out and you can find another one quickly if that's what you want.
Congratulations on the house closing. I wish you well on splitting the property.

Welcome to BYC.
Last year was my 1st year with chickens and on BYC... there are tons of wonderful people here to help you along the way. Access to numerous kinds of chicks that you can buy direct from these wonderful people, support when things don't go as planned and plenty of support to...
Luv I don't know if this will help you at all but I have 3 healthy BSL's you can have free. "Dinner" (because she's a naughty girl, & she is often threaten with being made just that) lays a JUMBO egg almost every day and her 2 sister hens "Lunch" and "Breakfast" lay an extra large egg almost...
It's not my husband that feels this way about the money. He doesn't care what I spend or on what. It's me going through growing pains of a somewhat new marriage...my previous marriage was a bit of a mess. His and mine and all that jazz.
Greg is wonderful to and for me... it's just emptying your...
Sorry to read about your chicks. :( I hope the rest make it for you.
I am putting together a order for chicks from Ideal but mine have to wait until April. I hope this is made right by the company for you.
Devona personally I would love to meet as many chicken people as possible. I hope you come. Last year was my first time with chickens and chicken stock... I LOVED it! Some really nice people on this board.
I can't wait to see everyone I met last year.!!! Boskelli, Metella, Gramma Chicken Myfivegirls, Luv and thats all I remember right now. I did get a bit overwhelmed meeting everyone for the first time, last year and I may not remember you all by face though. :(
Metella, I definitely will sit...
Hey 15
I also do not do well in social situations. I am naturally very introverted by nature and sometimes conversations feel forced. I also have the tendency to say the wrong thing, trip, drop things and act very weird at times. Having a common interest helps for social interactions and pets &...
Ridley is always leased and either held by myself or my husband. and of course we would pick up any poo she would make.
I will be excited to see your rottie. My girl I had before Ridley was a beautiful German Rott named Casey. I miss her everyday.
Chicken girl !5. I would like to attend however, I have a Cocker Spaniel, Ridley that goes everywhere with me would it be okay with you if she comes with me. She is super friendly with people, dogs, cats, chickens... pretty much everything. :)
I have SAD too. Life just looks bleak through those eyes. I read a study that said it was related to the decrease in general amount of light (just like chickens don't produce eggs) people aren't as productive. I have no motivation nor will do I expect any until spring it happens every year, for...
