    Where in Western Kentucky are you? My hubby and I should be moving in a month or so to just south of Lexington and we are able to have chickens there. I would be extremely interested.

    Is anyone else noticing how much their chickens are drinking?

    Their muscles need plenty of water to stay healthy and warm. Just like humans need plenty of water to help maintain our systems. The colder we get the faster we dehydrate, just like the hotter we get we sweat and need more hydration. To help our bodies to maintain good internal "survival"...

    Hello there, you are probably the closest to me that is in possession of Black Copper Marans! And either thus spring or later this year I will be ready to raise some chicks or pullets.

    Awe :) That all sounds great! Wish I could say the same, but the opportunity for us to move and get the house we were looking at has basically stopped. So we will not be able to raise chickens anytime soon.

    Tell How Predators Got Your Chickens. Save Somebody Else From The Bad Experience

    What else about the cloth would you recommend is safest, toxicity wise, regarding the chickens? Our friend will be living there too and eventually would like a dog and in a year or more I hope to have a few milk goats.

    Tell How Predators Got Your Chickens. Save Somebody Else From The Bad Experience

    I see the use of hardware cloth a lot in these posts. What is the best kind to get. I'm thinking this out, by the time we move into the house and start designing how we will best utilize the space in our back yard for the coop... I am ready to build a fort knox for the hens before I order them...

    I duct taped my chicken!

    Hmmm interesting to know and note. For removal, and I'm just responding after reading the first post... Tea Tree Oil from Melaleuca in their strongest compound, will dissolve this easily. And NOT harm the chicken, plus it's anti-fungal, anti-bacteria, etc.

    OHio ~ Come on Buckeyes, let me know your out there!

    I hope I am not misusing this thread, but I have a question for you all. Talking to someone today about the pullets I'd like to start off with this summer/fall and he mentioned a molting period for pullets before feeding them or preparing them to be egg layers. What is he talking about...

    Still new to chickens, but if it's not too much to ask, I would love to see a picture of a bantam rock-faverolle mix! Bet he's cute as can be! :)
