We have 7 Buff Orpington chicks we got from TSC who are now about 2 1/2 weeks old.  One already has a pretty prominent comb and some red....just wanted to get thoughts on what they all may be.  I know it's still early, I'm mostly just curious to see if you all have the same guesses as I do.  I'm...

My fiance and I are building a Gilligan's Island themed chicken coop and I was wondering if anybody else had a themed chicken coop. If so, I would love to see pictures.

My fiance and I are moving to Maine this fall. (YAY!!!!!) We're hoping to get some Muscovies once we buy a house with some land. I was wondering if anyone knows any good places to get some....when we're ready for them.

My fiance and I are moving to Maine in September (YAY), in the Dixfield area. I've been Googling like crazy, and can't seem to find any ordinances regarding the keeping of any poultry for Oxford County. We're looking at purchasing rural property (which is why I was looking at the county...

I think I want a flock of barred rocks to start. I'm thinking of going through Ideal. They'll be used as dual purpose birds. Eggs and meat...and non breeding cockerels will be caponized and raised up, rather than immediately culled.

Does anybody else on BYC Needle Felt? I love it (except when I poke my fingers haha). My phone isn't letting me add pictures, but I'll post a few of the figures Ive done :)

Out of pure curiosity.....what hatcheries send packing peanuts? I know Ideal does. Is it the only one?

Just curious if anybody has been either doing this in practice, or studying up on chicken genetics in order to do so? If so, what breeds do you plan to incorporate into your crosses and why? I'm interested to see what crosses people are keeping, and what their goal was/is (egg...

I was wondering if anybody has ordered Ideal's standard assorted chicks? If so, what did you get?

I'm thinking of just ordering Ideal's assorted standard chicks the first time around, and decided from there which breeds we do and don't want (since there are so many with the same pros and cons). So.....has anybody ordered this assortment? If so, what did you get?

My fiance and I are going mad waiting to hear back if he gets to transfer to Maine or not. We're in Southwest Kansas and both hate it (sorry if anyone on here lives here...it's just not for us). We found a house we want to check out if he gets the go ahead on the transfer. It's beautiful (and...

So I'm trying to decide which hatchery to go through, and was wondering how Ideal is?

Hey everyone! I'm Laura and my fiance and I are planning to raise chickens for eggs and meat once we buy a house with a good amount of land (hopefully soon). I'm working on learning as much as I can beforehand. We'll be building our own coop and run (he's ridiculouly handy), so I've already...
