    Craigslist has chicken swaps several times a month within decent driving distances from there, usually within 30 min drive. I live about 5-10 min from pretty much anywhere in Portsmouth so it isn't much farther for you. Just check the Hampton Roads area of craigslist and search "chicken" or...

    I have to be concerned with hurricane flooding here, the whole area has been under at least a foot at one time or another in the past. Are chickens good swimmers? =) It will have to be at least 18" off the ground for their safety as I live in a flood 2 zone. If it hits flood 3 then me and my...

I don't even have a solid coop idea yet, but I have four chickens coming at the end of the month. Yup thats my...

    Don't own any chickens... yet. Have wanted them for about two years now. Been reading a lot and maybe overthinking this all but I don't want it to end in disaster. I am in Chesapeake VA. I have a full acre of land, fully fenced with chainlink 42" high, maybe half of it semi wooded but open...
