    Thanks :) All is well now and I have a beautiful 18 month old who will be thrilled to have chickens I'm sure. I would certainly be interested in some pullets but later on in spring once we get the shed fully converted into a coop. Please do keep me posted!

    Hi everyone! I have missed this place! The last two years have been extremely challenging. We have moved to a homestead on 25 acres near Kingfield and we are finally ready to start over with our flock. Due to pregnancy and complications I had to rehome my previous birds which made me extremely...

    I sell eggs at work and have never had an issue. I also had an LLC for a while and that was a good lesson in accounting and taxes. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to go beyond selling a few dozen eggs here and there. Now I am back to just bartering and selling to friends. My mama...

    I would certainly let all your neighbors aware of the LAW regarding their dogs attacking your chickens. If it happens again Id call animal control. If they catch the dog there are large fines the owner would have to pay to get them out of the pound. I would also ask for compensation for your...

    That is very true. I forgot about molting. There is something that just feels so wrong about supermarket eggs. Like I am cheating on my chickens! The garden is pathetic this year, I must say. The only thing that looks good are the onion sets. We never managed to get raised beds in and I am...
