      Just wanted to drop in and say Hi, I don't have any chickens yet, but will be looking for some Rhode Island Reds before much longer. I am still drawing up some plans for a movable coop and will get under way with the build in a month or so. As the title says I live in Raleigh North Carolina, but I grew up on a farm in Virginia, we raised beef cattle but had chickens and hogs as well as a few other animals also, but for the past year I have been wanting to get a few chickens for fresh eggs. If anyone knows of anyone who raises pullets near here please let me know, Thanks!

welcome-byc.gif from Indiana!  Under the coops tab there's a section for chicken tractors too that may help you, since you're still in the planning stages smile.png

Caretaker of a lovely mixed flock including: australorp, plymouth rocks, wyandotte, d'uccles, silkies, EEs, andalusian, and a few seramas, plus a golden retriever, great dane, and three cats.  I always swore that I wouldn't succumb to chicken math.  I lied.
