    ALABAMA!!

    Thank you, we have been in Alabama for a little bit (since August) but you know getting things settled after moving takes a while. We will get some pics loaded when it warms up a bit - chicks are in the garage so we have 4 heat lamps running right now.

    ALABAMA!!

    We finally got our chicks from the post office!! Ended up with 22 Delawares, 6 Buff Orpingtons, 6 Barred Rocks, 7 RIR's (ordered 8 but one chick started pecking at eyes and would not stop), 5 Wyandottes, 3 Welsummers.

    eye pecking baby chick

    Amazingly we had the same thing happen today. We received an order of chicks from a hatchery via the mail and one of the RIR's kept running around pecking at all of the other chicks eyes.

    ALABAMA!!

    Thanks for all of the replies. The last place we lived was backed up to the woods, not far from Mark Twain National Forest in the Ozark Mountains. We had plenty of predators there - mainly fox, coyote, plenty of raccoon, skunks, neighbor dogs, wild dogs/cats and bob cat. That said we did not...

    ALABAMA!!

    My wife and I just settled into Rogersville, AL after retiring from the Army (both of us) - now we are excited about getting ready for spring, new gardens, chicks, and the never ending list of tasks to make our new home ours. We are waiting on our chicks to arrive the middle of next week. We had...

    Getting Chicks

    Good luck. Chicken math was part of our down fall at our last house, we had intended on staying in Missouri for a long time but then life changes and so we picked up our roots and are moving on. I built our last coop based on a simple plan, that my DW agreed to, essentially the plan was to keep...
