Checking-In On Peeps - Post Here To Say Hello!
Had been doing great until this weekend. We had extremely heavy rains last night and something (fox, likely) was able to dig through the mud up under the chicken wire we'd buried underground around the coop and run. All of our five new chicks are gone. They were getting too big for the brooder...- Stitchnova

"The Ladies" - our first time raising BYC
At least we hope they're all ladies! We live in a small rural town, but they don't allow roosters. It would be heartbreaking if we had to rehome any of them. :( We have two buff orphingtons ("Phoebe" and "Tiny"), a barred rock ("Brownie"), an Americauna ("Grandma"), and a silver-laced Wyandotte...- Stitchnova

GemmaGA: My Suburban Homestead/Self-Sufficiency Journey!
Hello, there! It makes my heart happy to hear when others have found a home and place that speaks to them. Congrats! I just got started with chickens about two weeks ago, so when you mention them being the gateway drug to farm life, I have to chuckle. Within the past two weeks I've decided I...- Stitchnova

Oh! Those sound wonderful! Are they fairly easy to find at TSC or Orscheln's, usually? Right now to order from a hatchery online it looks like we'd need to order a minimum of ten. Unfortunately we won't have room for that many (yet). And we're too impatient to wait another month until things...- Stitchnova

After doing a bit of research, I think Barred Plymouth Rock and Americaunas would be great to start with. I'd love to find one other breed if we can. We need chickens that are heat and cold tolerant as well as very human friendly. Our daughter and many of her first-grade friends will likely be...- Stitchnova

I think we're leaning towards our local farm and feed store. Is there a way to order small (4-5) batches of chicks online??- Stitchnova

About to dive in
Hi! My family and I are about to embark on this new adventure! This was my husband's and young daughter's idea; I'm just around for the eggs. (Or so I say. I have a feeling I'm going to get sucked in, too.) We live in a small town in central Kansas with two dogs and a cat, all indoors. Chickens...- Stitchnova
