    Texas, San Antonio Area

    Tx is Big! I was looking for a thread where those who live within driving distance could work together to make our flocks better. Maybe that will just be tips that work for you. Maybe it will be getting new birds, or chicks. Maybe it means getting eggs that don't have to be shipped. Whatever it...

    Chickens per Sq Foot?

    I've heard all different answers on how much space a chicken needs for free ranging. How much space do you think each bird should have? What I REALLY want to know is how large your Chicken Yards are, and how many birds you have in them? Does it come to 5, 10, 20, or 50 sq feet per chicken? I...

    Good age to add nesting boxes to coop?

    My chickens are only 10 weeks right now, but i've been hearing several different ages for them to start laying. As early as 16 weeks? I have 10 Buff Leghorns, and 9 of the Ideal 236 (I think).

    3 weeks new

    Hi. My name is Naomi, and my adult chicken experience is now 3 weeks old. All but one of our 20 chicks are thriving. One was (we assume) pecked on by the others until she has no skin on her neck. It is down to the meat. We removed her, and put her in with our nine ducks, who have been very sweet...
