    Rooster FREE - Gaston County NC

    Ok. I updated the listing to be free. I’m not keen on CL or Marketplace unless there’s no other option. Wanted to try this route first where I know folks are legit.

    Rooster FREE - Gaston County NC

    We have a rooster that needs a new home. He is not mean at all, in fact our older hens keep him running all day. Our hens are kept in a closed run and we have no desire to raise chicks, so he is really just another mouth to feed for us. We purchased him from TSC back in July so he’s about 6...

    Hello from NC

    Our TSC mystery chicks are growing up and are 20-21 weeks old now. We keep going back and forth on whether the white one is a hen or roo. The tail feathers look kinda like a roo but there is absolutely no dominant traits showing. Instead, he/she is very skiddish but definitely likes to play...

    Who laid this?

    Our Orpington lays a very large, nearly white egg with just a very small hint of pinky-beige but hardly enough to notice. The more rounded end of her eggs is always a little rough with a thin shell, while the more pointed end is really good and solid. We have 4 other laying hens of different...

    Should the run be completely covered with tarps?

    We are in the Piedmont of NC and I’ve add that to my profile. We get pretty much all seasons here. Some extremely hot days in the summer, some extremely cold days in the winter but normally we are 40’s to 80’s with average rainfall. I thought “deep litter” referred to in the coop. Is that...

    Should the run be completely covered with tarps?

    Our girls are 100% confined to their run and coop. We recently expanded the run so they have lots of roaming area. We have two sections covered with a tarp and the middle sections only have a chicken wire top. We use just dirt on the floor and had been hauling in leaves, dirt, mulch every now...

    Things you wish you could say

    Stop your drama, stop the pity party, put your big girl/boy britches on and DEAL WITH IT. Your whining is helping nothing.

    Question of the Day - Wednesday, August 28th, 2024

    Yes. Learned to drive a stick when I was 16 (er many years ago!). I find it enjoyable for an every now and again thing but wouldn’t want to do it everyday.

    TSC Mystery Chick

    Yes sorry I never posted it here… “We are Tractor Supply's main supplier of birds, but we are not their only supplier of in store birds. I'm really not sure what the birds are. It looks like around June 25th, we sent them in store Americanas, Rhode Island Reds, and Black Australorps. I don't...

    DIY Coop and Run -- Design Feedback

    Love your coop! You did an excellent job with it. You mentioned you are in the Piedmont of NC, which is where we are, and I totally get the monsoon / heat wave cycle this year. It’s been challenging for the girls and our garden. Just wondering, did you choose to follow code or was that a...

    TSC Mystery Chick

    Thanks for the replies. I’ve sent an email to the hatchery too so it will be interesting to see what they say. Any other thoughts from this group is appreciated too.
