Those are gorgeous chickens.
Thank youThose are gorgeous chickens.
6 years ago, at the state fair, a chicken coop on wheels caught our attention. we stopped and talked with the folks. Well, 3 pullets, a very iffy portable chicken coop (they said easy to move--haha) and $2000 later, we were in the chicken business. That first winter was rough, but we all survived, including my husband! In the spring, we moved the girls into an old mini barn converted into a chicken house (coop) with a small fenced in area. Fast forward six years, and the number of chicks blossomed to eight, the fenced in area expanded to accommodate them, and everyone seems to be happy campers.
How many of our peeps are really new to raising chickens and how many are old-timers?
In addition to answering the poll, please reply with some fun details, like:
What got you interested in raising chickens?
Did you ever "take a break" and not have chickens?
What breeds did you start with, how many, and do you have any pictures to share?
