    Ottawa, Ontario (good news, bad news)

    Thanks for the info. It looks like my husband and I will be relocating to the Ottawa area this summer, and this is the sort of thing I've been trying to look up. Do you know what the rules are for the surrounding counties (eg Lanark)? -Kiri.

    Ordering - a question of numbers

    Hello chickenranchwife, This is actually a difficult question to answer. I'll be relocating in a little over a year, but I don't know where yet (what fun!). At this point I'm just learning as much as possible about keeping chickens. However, seeing as I haven't found anywhere in Canada...

    Ordering - a question of numbers

    I hope this is the right forum to post this in (and apologize if it is not).

For example, if when ordering a box of mixed chicks I want to ensure I get...

    Printing Egg Cartons

    hooligan, I think my post came off the wrong way. My intent was to ask if there was a particular diet/feed that you used to get these results, and how you found out. Thank you for the link. I hope I didn't cause any offense.

    Breeding orpingtons? Colour questions.

    Thank you RepoBob. So, if I cross a black and a white orpington, it is possible to get a splash? What about a blue? What would a buff/black or a buff/white cross look like? I'm really interested in which colours are possible from crossing just these birds so I can decide what colour of rooster...

    Breeding orpingtons? Colour questions.

    Hello all, Firstly, what a great community you all have here! I've been thinking for the past year or so about keeping chickens. It won't be possible for another couple of years (lots of time to learn!) but when I do I've got my heart set on buff, white, and black orpingtons (or possibly...
