    RIR-Acting like a rooster, but I was told its was a she!

    Thank you for the comments. I will post a pic soon of her. I have one, but its older. She has changed since then and I'm sure an updated pic would be best.

    RIR-Acting like a rooster, but I was told its was a she!

    This spring, my new husband-bless his heart, he's new to chickens, too- bought me a RIR to add to my flock of 2 barred rocks ( a year old, each). She has yet to lay an egg, and she has begun to crow (very lightly, but surely). We have had a very hard time getting them to get used to each...

    Do chickens call bedtime??

    I am new to chickens and have two 6 week old chicks I keep inside right now until their coop is finished. I have noticed that they both get REALLY LOUD in their chirping when they are ready to go down for the night. Thats when I cover their temp coop with a blanket for them to sleep.

    Dimensions of a Run

    I do have plans to add a silkie inthe future, but because I live inthe city limits and near others, I will probably never go much more than three or four. So Iwill go bigger... maybe 16x3? Or switch the coop the ohter way and make it 12x4. decisions, decisions.

    Dimensions of a Run

    I am so excited because I just picked up my first little girls yesterday, two 6-week old barred rocks. Now, it getting down to business time and I have to finish my coop and run. I am building a 3x4 coop with an attached run, much like the "playhouse" style I have seen everywhere. My question...

    Future chicken mom from Greenville, SC

    Hi, from Greenville, SC. I am new to chickens and the whole idea of raising them in my own backyard. I have recently been interested in "urban homesteading" and thought there was no way I could raise chickens in the city limits! YEA! I can! Now, I have to figure out what it is I am doing...

    Hi, Jules! And thanks again for checking on those codes. I'm glad you had that whim and that you shared it with me. I have begun urban homesteading in GV as well. Have you found any chickens yet? I heard the Community Lawn & Garden on Laurens Rd has some Americaunas and Barred rocks... 3...

    Can I keep chickens in city limits of Greenville, SC?

    Wooo- hoo! Thank you, Jules C.! I apreciate so much you checking that out. I have the zoning phone number and plan on calling on Monday to get more details if needed. I don't plan on keeping roosters, so I don't think that noise will be an issue. Two of my neighbors are already on board...

    Can I keep chickens in city limits of Greenville, SC?

    Thank you, Chel. I appreciate the advice. I will do that. Do you raise silkies? I noted your profile pic was a silkie. I am wanting to start with Silkies. My thought was that a rare or unusual breed would boost my argument that these are pets (and eggs) and not dinner. Nichola

    Can I keep chickens in city limits of Greenville, SC?

    I'm new here, and am very interested in keeping a few chickens in my urban backyard. One neighbor has said she's excited about having fresh eggs nearby. Another neighbor (down the street) wants to have some of their own, too. But I can't determine what our local laws say. Is anyone here from...
