Is there anyone specifically in Alabama that wouldn't mind sharing how the process went? I'm looking in the future to get involved in showing and selling. I guess I'm a bit nervous about it because it seems complicated. Plus I saw if you wanted to sell hatching eggs/chicks you have to pay for a...
Howdy y'all, greetings from Alabama. I'm looking to get in chickens and poultry broadly right now; my family has had a small flock for a while, but I'm about to be out on my own and will likely try some things a bit different. My main focus is poultry for homesteading. Looking forward to...

Hello all! New member and new to the backyard/small chicken flock scene. I do have some previous experience (many years ago) as I grew up working on my grandfather's farm. Part of my duties/punishment was cleaning the chicken coop anytime I got in trouble. Also was chased many of time by the...
...ordered a mix of Barred Rock, Cinnamon Queen, and Austra White chicks, for (hopefully) good egg-laying in this Southeast US (east-central Alabama) climate.
- After many tons of research on starting off with mail-order(ed) chicks, I have read up on, and built, a Mama Heating Pad brooder, and...
Hello friends. I'm new in the BYC and in the chicken experience. I'live and work in in the Madison and Morgan counties in Alabama. I want to learn about chickens.
...familiar with the how’s and where’s can point me in the right direction! Lord’s Willing, I’m trying to find fertile duck eggs in the North Alabama area. We’re not too picky about breeds, but preferably nothing too flighty! We’ve had pekins, Cayuga, and saxony before, and I’d be happy with any...
Hello! I looked through a bit of the thread on the "Where am I. Where are you?" and I couldn't see a Northern Alabama. So, calling all Northern Alabamians!
South Alabama chicken keeper, because let's face it, you never really own a chicken, they own you. My kids show chickens with 4H (three years now) and we currently have around 45 due to chicken math. Next show is in ten days. Picture from 2021: spelling words via FaceTime with your...
...I am glad they have their own room because they would be everywhere. I have been working on their permanent coop outside but this heat in Alabama is awful. I have heard that chickens are soo expensive and I have also that they were very inexpensive. I guess I'm about to find out for myself. I...
We got 10 week old chickens together and they didn't know the sex at the time. Now they're "grown", 36+ weeks and we have 3 roosters to 4 hens :eek:
Looking to trade one for a hen. We are in Dothan. I don't know what kind they are all I know is one is an Easter egger. The other is a...

We are going to be getting some girls in a couple of weeks.
(3) What...
Found these guys on the craigslist: https://atlanta.craigslist.org/wat/grd/d/leeds-jumbo-coturnix-quail-chicks/7601530881.html
The guy was very responsive over the phone and the price is right for the Jumbo Pharaoh Coturnix quail. Supposedly it is NIPP certified, but I can't seem to be able to...
So we're ready to add battens to the gaps in the old fence boards. Or not. Or partially. Help?
I read some artricles here, and was originally planning to cover the top two foot of the vertical gaps with hardware cloth, leaving that extra ventilation between boards, and add battens just to...
