I'm planning to order a set of 8 or so chicks soon. I live in NH and would like, of course, a short shipping time, and healthy chicks.
I'd like a hatchery which supports mixed breeds, as well, if possible. I'm currently looking at Meyer and Cackle Hatcheries, but if anyone has any other...
Two months ago, my pullet Enid suffered a hawk strike. She survived but with long-term injuries - there's something wonky about her leg, so she's slightly unsteady on her feet.
However, her neck is also twisted. It wasn't just after the strike, and after a bit of investigation, I figured that...
I've got a large, uncovered run protected by an electric fence against land-bound predators, but as I just discovered, hawks are hungry in the fall and I don't have aerial protection on the outdoor part of the run. There is a covered run, which is (obviously) hawk-proof, unless they walk in like...

This is my first time raising chickens and two of the cute-as-pie fluffy balls of fuzz have turned out to be roosters. I'm not allowed roosters where I live, so either I have to re-home these cuties or eat them. They're both only about 6 months old. I've attached pictures of them both; it should...
