Too cold to work outside so we started building the coop inside the barn as modular panels. When we have a warm...
My goodness, I certainly didn't know I would open such a Pandora's box when I posted my original question.
I ordered my chicks from Ideal and they are advertised as Araucana/Americana -The Easter Egg Chicken. I guess they covered all of the bases with that title! Hahaha
I will just enjoy the...
...to take the cold well and lay well. I have built shade areas for summer and will have a heat lamp for winter. Our summers can get a few days of 100* F and winters can be below freezing for a week at a time with lows as much as 0*F. It is a dry climate so not much mud or standing water. Thanks...

My son went to both UofO and OSU. He said that the UofO kids were there to party and the OSU kids were there to get an education for a good job. Also he got his first two years of credits at Lane Community College. He felt that community college professors were more committed to helping you...

My neighbor has a couple of peacocks with her chickens and nothing tries to get close to them. The peacocks are good protectors if you don't mind their calling.
Thanks BYC mods and members for all of the help and keeping it friendly especially for us newbies and our endless questions! Thanks for keeping me encouraged.
have an order coming from Ideal; on Feb 16th. My first chickens.!I ordered from there rather than McMurray's because of the good things people had to say about Ideal. We will see how it goes :fl
