Well I get about the same. I am not to worried about winter. I can adjust heat as needed when I can. Just worried about that late July and Early August heat.
Ok, so I finally will have the dogs fenced in complete. I really want to get a rare breed of continental chicken for the coop that I am building after this. Any suggestions? I need a breed that can handle the Mississippi Delta heat.
There are a lot of duck pluckers in Stuttgart area that might process a chicken. Look around for duck pluckers or ask around at the hunting stores. After the duck season they close up shop though.
I will be in Monticello Monday checking on my house I have there. Lived there for two years, or rather my wife and kids did while I was deployed and she was working on her masters. Got to see what work I need to do and if I can put it on the market.

Well I am trying to learn all I can before I jump in the chicken game. Any suggestions on breeds that do well in Arkansas? I am also working on a coop design and was wondering when I needed to plan on getting chickens? When is the best time?
Greetings I live in Gillett, Arkansas and I am just getting started with my research before I jump into chickens. It is great to see someone else from Arkansas on here.
Well I am beginning my research on chickens. My wife and I have purchased 1/2 a city block in a town of less then 600. We figure if the neighbor down the street has chickens then so can we. We have absolutely no idea what we are doing, but we love eggs. She also loves chicken. She has...
