New to chickens, can they be raised in Alaska????

[Mrs MIA]

Hubby says that you should contact them and see if they deliver...

 

[Arctichicken]

Great idea!!! Right now I'm just looking for a breeder as a contact, I just found out from my hubby that there is some fencing here that needs repairing before horses or cattle come in or they'll be gone. But I'll still contact them to see if they will have some available for a little while later. How are you doing? How's the coop?

 

[Arctichicken]

Well I made it over to Triple D's Hatchery today. Interesting guy, lots of chics. He seemed pretty knowledgeable. Gonna be starting on the the coop soon. Yeah, one day at a time.
Busy, busy, busy!!!

Cool! What did he suggest? He is usually so busy that he can't talk for too long.
How are things going?

The coop is coming along! I'm covered in mud and paint... just finished the brooder room except for the trim.

I wish I could have a horse... :|

Are you serious?

Don't you have enough work to do?

 

[Mrs MIA]

Um... yeah, so?

I know... I'm old fashioned. I like the idea of a horse and buggy.

He gave me his website (www.alaskatripled.com) and we spoke about the different chics he had and prices and feeding etc. Then he had to tak the phone and so Alan and I looked around the place. His website seems pretty informative too.

I can't wait to get horses either. But will have to until next spring I'm sure.

Things are coming together Alan's been replacing tools for work (sold them all before the big move for more room) and he starts his first officail day tomorrow. I think he's still wanting to find work on the slopes tho. But all in all things are going good.

Has your bator arrived? When do you expect your first batch of chickies?
