I live in Sharpsburg, but am very familiar with PTC. I highly doubt they will allow backyard chickens. Most, if not all, subdivisions probably have restrictions in their covenants regarding livestock. They won't want chickens near their beloved golf cart paths. Not only that, but the "clique"...

I have guineas and they sound off when they see or hear a hawk, but it doesn't stop them. I've lost 2 roosters in the past few weeks to hawks. Even though the roosters were bigger than the hawks, it just goes to show how vicious they are.

Here are my rainbow layers from McMurray. They are outside with a heat lamp. The weather is warm for this time of year and I'm sure they will stay warm Here's a link to the webcam: http://68.119.60.246:1024/img/main.cgi?next_file=main.htm Edited to correct link.

Absolutely impossible she laid those eggs at once.

I have ordered from McMurray Hatchery 3 times and have been very happy every time. Now, I may have lost a chick or two out of an order of 50 (51 with the bonus chick), but I am ordering from them again. This time I am taking a chance and getting delivery the end of January. I live south of...

Waddling is a symptom of being egg bound.

Just don't let the goats eat the chicken feed.

Had a new coop built. This one has a cement floor because no matter what we did with the floor with the old coop, "critters" would still dig through and eat the food. Here's a link: http://www.friscofarms.tzo.com/img/main.cgi?next_file=main.htm

Hi - Sorry for your loss. I subscribed to this topic because I had a similar situation - 15 dead chickens spread all over. All except 2 had absolutely no signs of any injury. None. The 2 with inury had their heads eaten. I think this was after they were dead. I never did figure out what...

Mean!

The pros out weigh the cons. I love our guineas, they have such a great personality. Get them!

Thank you for the invite. We will be in Denver at a Moody Blues concert that weekend. Have fun!!

Redhen, you don't "get" a resume, and by the way you have posted, I don't think you would qualify for the job.

I'm talking to any BYC members.

How will we find each other? I live 15 minutes from there!

Ok, I've already turned if off. The animals are being abused.

I just looked at the guide - she has 200 chickens in her house. yikes.

They can go outside now. Put a heat lamp in the corner of the coop. You may want to wrap the bottom 3 feet of the open part of the coop with a plastic tarp or something so they are out of the draft. (Get a plastic drop cloth at wal-mart or home depot for $4 in the paint dept) The draft will...

My guineas were raised with chickens since they were a couple of days old. They roost in the same coop every night. The guineas can be bullies, but they haven't killed any of my chickens.

Yes, because sooner or later predators will find them.
