So I got my second pullet egg in three days! We ate them as a family today. They tasted great. How long in your experiences have you observed that the laying becomes more consistent and the egg size increases?
Woo Hoo! Guess who got their first egg today! We think it came from this hen!
It has been a long 5 mos! I could not believe we were so excited! It's a perfect small little guy!
Here's to hoping the other 6 girls start laying soon! Good times!
Hello all! My sister and nephews are starting a small flock of 4 egg layers and are looking for young chicks. Under a week if possible. If you have anything let me know what and how much. Thanks! Jim.
I used skillet lids and crockpot lids from the ARC for windows in mine! As funny as it sounds they work really well. Get the biggest ones that will work and if you need help with attaching them I can help ya! You can see better pics on my profile of the windows
We had some crazy flooding and hail. Just planted my hay bale raised garden yesterday and now the hail. The seedlings look OK, maybe. We are in the SE Springs area.
Thanks for the reply I was beginning to think no one had done any meat birds in CO. I was thinking about Freedom Rangers, Would you recommend Strombergs? How long did you grow them and what did they finish at. This will be my first time. I have been a hunter for a long time and always...
I am thinking of ordering some Freedom Ranger Chickens straight run meat chickens and wanted to see if anyone wanted in on some. If you are interested let me know. I was thinking of getting some around the beginning of June. I am around Colorado Springs.
Anyone know of any commercial type feed stores around Colorado Springs or beyond if need be? I would like to buy feed in bulk cheaper like 100 lbs. at a time. Or does anyone know of any commercial chicken farms that I can contact for their commercial feed sources? Thanks!

They are Rhode Island Reds. I gave him(the rooster) to a delightful women in Peyton with a bunch of chickens and a couple turkeys. We picked up a Buff Orpington and a Auracana about the same age. I am so excited about having these little guys in our household. The kids are having a blast...
Thanks! We have a good door on the coop and make sure they are inside every night. How much ventilation do you have in you coop? We live in Colo Springs.
