Hello! Are there any BYC members in Southern New Hampshire or Northern Massachusetts who will be selling pullets this Spring? I'm looking for any good layer breeds. Standards or bantams. Only need 6. Thank you!!!!!

Hello! My humble apologies if this question has been answered numerous times before. When I log in there are lots of posts in bold lettering with a little yellow chick next to them. Can someone tell me what that means? I was thinking maybe it's a new post possibly? Not sure. Thank you very...

Hello! There are SOOOOOOOOOO many posts about litter/bedding but I'm having a little trouble searching for some specific information. Is there anyone NOT using the deep litter method? Say I wanted to start out not using the DLM. How deep do my pine shaving need to be and how often would I...

Poor guy! He's amazing for putting up with me. He's using some fancy dancy computer software (Sketch Up?) to sketch the coop and run to scale. It's so cool! Of course every time I see a section done and can finally visualize it (this thing is in 3-D - super cool!) I want something changed so...

Hello! So many people have the automatic chicken doors and I love the idea! I know I'm probably being silly, but I have two fears. What if I have a slow poke who dilly dallies in the run and doesn't get in before the door closes? And what if, God forbid, the door closes on one of my girls...

Hello! I have a dog house just like the one pictured below - except mine is small - about 2' x 3'. I want to use it as a brooder or isolation coop, but of course need to modify it. My only problem is that it is quite difficult to do anything on the inside because of the small door. For...

Hello! We are considering installing an exhaust fan at the top of the coop to increase ventilation. My husband is a computer guy and has tons of those computer case fans. He was thinking of putting two in the coop instead of buying an official exhaust fan. Anyone ever do this? Any thoughts...

Hello! There are 653 pages of coops and runs, etc.! WOW! I've already looked at all the ones posted in the coop design section and again WOW! But what I would LOVE to see is all the absolute beautiful coops that are almost too good for chickens! (The key being almost! Nothing is too good...

Hello! Can I go to a particular page? For example, if I read through the first 100 pages of coop designs and then log out, when I come back, can I skip right to page 101 or do I have to scroll through all the pages? At the top left it will show page 1,2,3...652 or something like that. I'd...

Hello! I'm a newbie who's not getting my started pullets until April, but I've been thinking about what to do when I want to increase my flock. I'll have plenty of room for about 12-15 chickens and I'm only starting out with 6. If I were to get one rooster and one of my hens went broody...

Happy Thanksgiving!!!! I live in NH and was wondering if anyone ever buys thier wood shavings online and gets bags/bales delivered to their home. Are there any low cost pet bedding dealers who sell to individual customers? Was thinking I could stock up before the new pullets arrive in the...

Hello Fellow Chicken Nuts!!!! I have been exploring the internet for the past three months soaking up as much information on raising chickens as I possibly can! I've read Raising Chickens for Dummies and Choosing and Keeping Chickens both 3 times already cover to cover (well, actually I...
