oh the temptation! I am considering goats...

Lambs are much better. They don't get in the trouble goats do.

Hey RB, if you keep offering those poor innocent bottle babies up for adoption I'm going to bring you a couple of rogue Alpacas on trade.

Bring them on. I would much rather have Alpacas. At least I don't have to bottle feed them LOL

I think it was Hillbilly Hen who says that at a certain age you might think you've lost your mind but the reality is that you just can't remember where you left it.

That's my motto!

All you can do is ask them.

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone!!!!!!! I am soooooo happy to have been invited to the group. I don't know what kind of chickens to get, what I want are brown egg layers that are on the friendly side. I don't know if I should get day old or ones already started. Please help me with advice, all is welcome because I am a newbie for sure. Does anyone know where I ought to get them? My local elevator orders from a hatchery here in Michigan Zeeland I think.

Welcome Kimmie.
BEAUTIFUL AVATAR!!!!!

Well I'm back and happy now that valentine's day is gone.

Bottle fed babies and chicks Oh MY!!!!!

Did you know there are also kinds that lay large green and blue eggs too? I think there's also cochins and silkies that lay light brown eggs? It all depends really if you need the eggs to sell, or if you just like them. There are quite a few kinds that lay brown eggs, but some produce more eggs than others. Some are better with free ranging, and some don't mind being penned. Sooooo many choices! Don't be afraid to ask lots of questions! Whatever you do build bigger than you need. See all the cute chicks? It's called "chicken math" and it happens every spring! (resisting the urge to buy chicks is rather like trying to eat just one chip)

All you can do is ask them.

I just asked the oldest if I could trade her alpacas for sheep she said, "No, because then I don't get money for them." I said, "You get sheep." She says, "I'd need to see pictures of these 'sheep'." Complete with air quotes on the "Sheep" part.

You know, because I would trade her alpacas for sheep that AREN'T real sheep.
