finally landed a spot in Kuna with room to get back into the wonderful world of backyard chickens! anyone on here in the Boise area?

To me its all a coin flip until i can really see some.combs and waddles. Luckily for me though, roos are allowed so im usually not too concerned with how they work out

When it comes to sexing, its almost impossible from looking at that age...i had fast feathers be pullets, and slow be pullets. Best method i had was checking the girth of their legs...but even then its only a guess. Got an ee roo from ken last year that i still wasnt sure until it started trying...

Where are u again showbarn?

Awesome chick setup you got there JB

Sad day...please send my condolences next time you speak. I know those 2 were close! Not to mention all the rest of us that she helped!

I second that one!

The 2 adults...well laying age so bout 10 mos, were some kind of fancy name but scream prod. Reds to me...the roo is a handsome fella with a blonde coloring and the hen is a deep red. Ill work on some pics when it stops raining and they get over the hour car ride witg my 2 year old, lol

Brought home tge first new batch today. Got 2 adults to roomie with my sole leghorn...felt bad for her, she was the only one to survive the great boston massacre of '13. And got 6 new chicks, 2 whitefaced black spanish, 2 polish, and 2 silkies. Next batch i want some bcm or heritage rhode...

Just wondering, does anyone have any guineas laying yet?

Haha...yeah the dog is still around but not my patience, i dare it! No chicks yet, was waiting on the time change so im lookin now

So true!! I spent good money on some birds and it seemed like it was the ones i ended up with "just cuz" were my faves!

Howdy from new waverly! Just a bit north of you Would definately like to know more when u do...wouldnt minf grabbing a couple layers

At one point i had 25 birds...currently have 1 leghorn pullet that made it through winter...been a rough cold season for me. My avatar was a red polish roo inwas quite fond of
