    Hey guys! So I just moved to Nashville and am planning on starting a laying flock. Is there a reputable breeder near Nashville to buy hatching eggs or day old chicks from?

    Well, my Silkie hen finally went broody and I'm looking for some pure-breed, fertile Silkie eggs for her to hatch. I live in Searcy, AR in White County. Is there anyone near me who has some eggs they'd be willing to sell me?

    Alright guys, so I'm looking to add to my flock. I'd like to buy grown chickens if possible. I live in Searcy, AR in White County and I don't really want to travel more than 30 minutes away, though I might be willing to consider it if someone has a great flock to visit. Breeds I'm looking for...

    You should really get heritage breeds if you want to free range (I range Rhode Island Reds and Barred Rocks). They're much better at running away from predators and have a better sense of danger. Production Reds may no be the best choice for a free range flock. You should also get a large...

    This happened to my last flock. One night a coon got in and they wouldn't roost in the coop anymore. I'd suggest cooping them for at least a week. That should teach them where home is again. I'm buying a new flock and have been told to coop them 2 weeks after transferring them from another flock...

    Yeah. I'm doing a free range flock so I'm going with all heritage breeds. My layers will be Rhode Island Reds and Barred Rocks. Then I'm getting some brood hens, Silkies (Partridge or White) and Old English Game. I've recently gotten interested in Samaras and there are several people in the...

    Returning to Old Staples: Breeding Chickens and this Website

    Oh, no doubt. After I posted I already remembered at least 5 breeds that I'd like to try out on top of those. Have limited space though (and time).

    Anyone from or near Searcy, AR in here? About to restart my flock and I'd like to take stock of people I might buy from around here.

    Returning to Old Staples: Breeding Chickens and this Website

    About 10 years ago my family had to move from our 3 acre farm on which I grew up to a neighborhood in town because of space constraints in our old little country home. My favorite part of living there from the time I was in Kindergarten to 6th grade (when we left) was raising my chickens. I had...
