I think that is what we're going to do.

I wasn't aware that I was poo pooing people's ideas. The reason I gave more information is because sometimes people had not read my initial post and may not know all of the information I have given. I do try to thank people, but I got so many responses that I ended up doing the general thank you...

Thanks

I'm not offended, it just sounds as though you're a little worked up. I don't need a perfect solution, but I do want to know all of my options. It's not that I'm unhappy with people's suggestions, I'm just unsure. If I was sure I don't think I would be here in the first place

How much do you think is a good amount to charge?

I'm sorry if I've offended you or something. I have already stated that I know that I may need to do things that will break my town's rules or not get chicks or drive further, etc. I know that things may not work out the way I want them to. I am very happy that this community has been so forward...

I think you misunderstood my comment. I do plan on eating the chickens when their egg production starts slowing down. I also know that with any animal there is a chance for injury, sickness, disease, and death. I also know that chickens can peck each other to death just because they see red. I...

Thanks

Ok guys, I know I could order more chicks and sell the extras/roosters on Craigslist. But I feel like there are a lot of shady people on Craigslist that will do shady things to my babies. If that's what I have to do I will do it, but I just don't like it. I am the kind of person that doesn't...

I know there is nothing wrong with it, but I really want Buckeyes and unfortunately, they are not at my local feed stores =(

I have contacted some people that only do straight run Buckeyes, but they don't do trades =/ I'm hoping that I find someone who's willing to work with me. It wouldn't be a problem if I didn't REALLY want Buckeyes. *sigh*

Since I can only have 6 hens in my area I don't feel comfortable getting more than 6 chickens or doing straight runs.

That's what I was worried about =/

We do want to raise the chicks ourselves. I would hatch eggs, but I don't want to be put in the position of trying to find homes for roosters or trying to get another female chick the same age as the others. We are also not going to show the birds.

In southeastern Wisconsin.

I found this website in my searches for Buckeyes: http://www.americanbuckeyeclub.blogspot.com/p/breeders-directory.html I was thinking of going with one of the bigger hatcheries since they offer shipping. Is this a bad idea? I would end up paying like $60 for 6 chicks, but I don't know of any...

I understand that I need to get the pen and supplies first. However, I don't want to be stuck waiting until next chick season to get the chicks I want. We are only allowed to have 6 hens, and we won't be showing them or breeding. Another reason I asked about coop plans is because in WI it gets...

Sorry, I did want chicks. I just noticed that some people only sell straight run and we aren't allowed to have roosters.

Hello Everyone! I am new to the forums and I have a lot of questions. My husband and I want to raise some free range chickens in our backyard. We have about an acre of land, and are located in southeastern Wisconsin. We would like to free-range them, but I have read you still need to feed...
