    Lazy J Farms Feed & Hay : This is an easy one. Keep your birds on your property with an appropriate fence then you won't have to worry about her being mad about the chickens eating her plants. After all, they are YOUR birds so the should stay on YOUR property. Pretty simple, really. Jim...

    Anti Chicken neighbor/ update in first post

    know what you mean. I went with field fence with T posts and then ran 2 foot chicken wire along the bottom on 2 sides, will do the rest if needed. yep, thats what we're doing, inside the forest along the property line so the thick foliage will be a deterent from flying over it. We've never had...

    Anti Chicken neighbor/ update in first post

    We live in a rural area on 1/2 acre and the only folks on our road are us and the next door anti-chicken neighbor. The reason I know she's anti-chicken is the neighbor on the road behind us said she called the county on his next door friend who had "too many". Ok, so our hens have been free...

    Any other hawaiians out there?

    They have a fan they sell seperate at Dells, we probably will go with that if we decide to hatch more eggs. Right now they're cozy enough in the homemade bator lol Hope your coming hatch goes well

    Any other hawaiians out there?

    Hey Christie! We've been thinking of ordering hatching eggs from the mainland too. Not sure yet, maybe we will just get a local boy for our girls Good luck with the incubating! Did you get your bator from Dell's? We've been looking at the one they carry.

    RIR chicks...Please help!!!

    I'm no chicken expert, but we have RIR's too and got ours when they were 2 weeks old. It looks to me like they were probably about 5-6 wks when ya got them which would put them at around 2 1/2 months old now. As far as telling the gender you'll need to wait a few more weeks. We started seeing...

    Can they eat herbs?

    My hens don't like the rosemary or the lavender, but go after the basil and cilantro when they can. I agree with the others, they know what to eat and not eat.
