Yes that’s what I decided to do. Another couple weeks in the brooder for the 3 week olds. I’m just excited about them all being together I guess. Lol! Thank you!
Hey guys! I just moved my 5 week old chicks out of the brooder into a 10x10 coop. I also have some 3 week old chicks that I’d like to put in with them, but I wasn’t sure if I could. Should I give the 3 week old chicks a couple more weeks in the brooder with a heat lamp? I thought I could put...
Wilkes County here! By the way... Is anyone in the area looking to downsize their flock for new Spring arrivals? I'm looking for some adult birds to start a new flock. Thanks!
Hey guys!
Hope everyone is doing well! I haven't been on in quiet a while, but I'm happy to say I've sold my house in the city and moved back to my home town of Wilkes County, NC where I can see the mountains again and hear roosters crowing across the way! I'm so excited to be back in the...
I'm not very handy so I'm looking to purchase a coop (house for roosting and nesting boxes) with an attached run that will house 6-8 chickens. I plan to let them out daily to free range when I get home each afternoon. So I'm not looking to build my own I'm interested in what y'all have bought...
Hey guys! I'm finally getting to move back to my home town where I'll be able to have chickens again! I want to get started ASAP and I'm looking for recommendations for your favorite coop and run for under $400. I've been looking on Amazon. I plan to have 6-8 chickens. Thank you!
Gosh I've not been on here in forever! Hope everyone is doing well. My girls started molting this week so it looks like a feather explosion in the hen house! Featherfixer here we come! Lol
Haven't been on in a while! I found my broody a new home where she could be a mama since I've had to break her multiple times over the last year I've had her. That brings my little flock down to 4. I love my girls! Hope everyone is ready for summer!
Hi! We are real close, how fun! How many and what breeds do you have?
I've got 2 black australorp, 1 light Sussex, 1 speckled Sussex, and a light brahma. One of my hens died about a week ago. Hopefully I can add a new girl this spring. If I had my way, I'd have about 30 lol! And a few Roos.
Hey, neighbors! I live in Forsyth County too! I'm in an area where I'm only allowed to have hens though:-(
I grew up on a farm in Wilkes though and had all the chickens I could ever want when I was a kid. Miss that life a lot. Hope y'all are enjoying having chickens as much as I do.
My very first chicken I got. My old, sweet girl. I found her dead in the coop today when I got home from work. No sign of a predator. I guess she was just getting old. RIP Margo! We will miss you.
I have two Australorp hens that recently started laying and some of the eggs have this cluster-like residue on them. Can someone help me understand what this is? Thanks!
