    Rhode Island White Boy? Or girl?

    Oh excellent! Well not so much because it brings us to culling them. I hope to hang onto the Easter egger for a bit longer and see how he fairs. I’m a bit excited as we did plan on birds for meat as well. Interesting predicament. Plucked many a bird but never a chicken funny enough.

    Introducing...

    Hi! The coop is 140 sf and the run is 180 sf. (and once the fence is built your looking at a whole yard) Because of the shipping my egg lady said probably 50% hatch rate which is down from her normal 80%. so that's 10 eggs maybe that will hatch. Out of that 10 is 50% chance they're roosters...

    Introducing...

    Hello! I am hailing from cold northern Quebec and attempting our first try at chicken raising. So far we have been doing pretty good with 7 lovely hens (6 white leg horns and 1 Isa Brown) They seem to be healthy and happy. We are constantly learning news things about them and are really enjoying...
