    Cleveland Chickens Texas

    'Cleveland Chickens (Texas)' Well, I moved us out of the city (Dallas) 1 year ago (Spring 2011) and into the outskirts. My city friends would call this "country" (we are surrounded by crops and until a month ago when we finally got DSL, we had to use satellite internet), but to my country living...

    Comment by 'StephanieDC' in article 'Chicken Gym'

    Wow- looks great! Can't wait to see the finished coop. And I always think I have different coop considerations here in hot Texas- South Africa must present a whole new way of looking at chicken coop building. How beautiful it must be though. I am jealous of the lush plants in your pictures. :-)...

    Did my 5wk old Roosters kill each other :-(

    I have 5 wk old Rhode Island Reds- I had hoped for 4 hens, but it started looking more like 2 hens and 2 roosters. So, the 2 roosters started fighting at 5 wks old :-(. I was so sad because I was trying to figure out how to part with even 1 rooster. I let the chickens roam the yard freely...

    Hi from N. Frisco/Prosper TX

    Hi- I am new to raising my own chickens. I decided to get a few baby chicks for the kids for Easter and then reiase them for eggs. I got 4 Rhose Island Red chicks from Gebo's just before Easter (2012). I assumed they were sexed as there was no sign like there was at Tractor Supply- but a couple...
