    Which breeds should I look into getting?

    If the birds are suited for our climate, produce a good amount of eggs, & quiet then looks dont matter much to me. I am more livestock & less pet to be honest.

    Which breeds should I look into getting?

    I am thinking 10 should do for us. I most likely won't end up butchering any, I'd like to but it's just not a good idea. There is a wooden fence on one side & a shed on the other, it leaves enough room for ventilation but I've found it blocks the wind nicely.

    Legbars & RIR were hitting all my Mark's when I checked earlier too. I would like to have some to eat, however I live in a city with little outdoor privacy & my neighborhood kids might be traumatized by me butchering :gig Im in south central, up on the mountain. Winters aren't terrible here...

    Quite possibly, either way I could not keep them

    Which breeds should I look into getting?

    I don't know but I will be looking into that too. We aren't sure if she's reacting to the chickens, their dust/poop/whatever, or the bedding (we used Aspen, then Pine). She's eaten chicken & eggs with no problem so we don't think it will be a problem once they are outdoors. Part of the problem...

    Which breeds should I look into getting?

    We recently had to rehome our chicks, having them in the house was causing my daughter's allergies to flare & there was no way to keep them outside at their age in this weather :( They went to live with a coworker who we know & trust to take care of them. But! I fully intend to start again in...

    Finally getting cooler!

    You're in Florida? I'm not jealous anymore lol that humidity is not for me. Back home it rains a lot & I now live in the high desert so it is a take the good with the bad situation I guess, I definitely don't miss the rain! The weather is weird here though, I can be really hot until the wind...

    We already have someone coming to pick them up :) She is a coworker & we know her personally. But thank you for thinking if her for us.

    Have to rehome our chicks

    My daughter is apparently allergic to chickens & we cannot keep them in the house anymore. Since it is not nearly warm enough to keep them in an unheated coop at this age (2-3weeks & its supposed to be 18°F tomorrow night) I am rehoming them. They are going to a good home with someone we know...

    I did a bad thing (chicken math!)

    We don't have a TSC here so he's safe from that one at least :lau

    I did a bad thing (chicken math!)

    Update: my 6 kept coming back out of the cave in groups of 3-4 at a time. I was worried it might be too warm (as I didn't hear any scuffles to make me think they weren't getting along) since mine haven't been under a heat lamp & have been given no heat except the cave in over a week. So I...
