The chicks are adorable, congratulations on the hatch. Keep us posted on the next hatch. I've really enjoyed hearing about your experience and it makes me want to venture out and do the same, but now isn't the right time for me. For now I'm happy to learn from your experience.

Thank you for sharing your experience. I will check out your website.

Thanks for the update on the flock. I hope all 9 eggs will hatch out fine for you and look forward to pics. Will you still be getting rid of George? What are your plans moving forward with breeding, feeding and harvesting?

That is exciting! Keep us posted. Where did you get your eggs?

Thank you for sharing your opinion and the article.

I'd like to join, 5B if available, please. A pullet named Ovette. Thank you!

You didn't mention pigs! I used to have potbellied pigs. A single strand of electric wire along the bottom of the inside of your fence should keep them from trying to root up the fencing you have now. Piglets are adorable, but I would go for an older tame pig from a rescue, a female or fixed...

So sorry about the "mishaps". Hopefully next spring goes better for the flock. As far as the cold goes, last year when we had that awful frigid snap for several days over Christmas, something like -20f at night, the only frostbite I dealt with was in a coop that I had "closed up", thinking I...

Oh, he sounds like a cool looking rooster! What do you mean by "breed sideways"?
