    A slow, steady wipe-out.

    Hey guys. Its been a long time since I've been here. Sigh. I had about 44 chickens. I've determined foxes are to blame for my new number of 1. That's right, 1. It took about a month, and for a while I was down to two - one hen, one rooster. Now only the rooster Bigsby remains. I need a...

    I will be starting meat birds either later this year or, more likely, next year. I am trying to decide on Cornish X or Freedom Ranger. I have read that FR are better foragers and will readily eat greens/bugs, which to me sounds great because I will be finishing them in chicken tractors. They...

    New from Maryland

    Hello. My name is Katelyn and I live on the eastern shore of Maryland, just 5 minutes from Delaware. I have 3 goats, 1 dog, 1 cat, and 11 new chick additions. They came from a flock down the road of Americanas, Sex Links (I believe red and black), and Barred Rocks. I didn't get to see the...
