Not really sure looks like the lighter ones.

I bought 5 RIR hens and a RIR rooster today.They are 11 weeks old this week.What age should they start laying?

When I till it like I tried to do when I first put the garden there.I tried to rake the grass on top as much as I could .It is taking time but it should get some of the roots up.

I was wondering if anyone could help me with a plann or designing a chicken tractor to use in the garden. The idea I have is to build it in an A frame style where it will be easy to move or any other stye that can be moved easy. My idea is to use it for a week or so till they eat the grass bare...

H ,I am close to Lake Hartwell,what there is left of it that is,.I have had chickens for about a year now.Was really wanting to get some Rhode Island Reds and White Leghorns for eggs.Does anyone close have any?Lee

Hi,I am from Hart county in N E Ga.I have a few chickens now but kinda want Rhode Island Reds but wife said I need to get ride of the ones I have now.

The way I feel about a situation like that is that I paid for my property and it is mine not the city or county.Which I only have about 3 acrers and am in the country .I have one neighbor on one side that has goats and horses and the other has chickens also.And I keep my taxes paid.

I am close to Hartwell.

Thanks,I am building a new pen .Was going to get some Rhode Island Reds but thinking of putting the chicks in there.Guess I will have enough for now.I have 23 including the chicks,guess it is enough. Thinking after it warms up a bit putting them on there own.

I recently bought a hen with 7 chicks 2 weeks ago.They are growing pretty good now .I was wonder how long they should be with her.

I built some that are 12 inches by 12 x 12

I use the 7 ,5, and 3 gal waters.I just got a deal on them by trading a couple of old deer stands for them .I think I got a good deal on them.They are the octagan shape with the cone like on top and the tray on bottom.

There is a place down the road from me.It is in North east Ga. in Hart county.If you email me at [email protected] I can find out more about it.Thanks Lee

Is .60 a dozen is not enough?I am not gonng to get rich but it does help on feed.My step father in law gave me the chickens to get me started.

I am going to get 2 blue brazzy back batams today,but I dont have my pen ready yet,but I do ha about a 2' x 3' wooden box ,Will that be big enough to put them in tempory?Also what size pen would you build for just the two of them?
