    Official BYC Poll: Where Did You Get Your Coop & Run From?

    Our coop was made by David Rice (Dave’s Chicken Coops) in Turtletown TN. He’ll custom build whatever you want. We hauled it > 100 miles to get it home. We set it up ourselves (hubby & me) and built the covered run ourselves. The run is a work in progress. Eventually the rest of the run will be a...

    Genetics Question

    First time chicken owner here. I wanted to start out with 6 female. My husband talked me into ordering 18 girls and 2 boys. Placed the order several months ago and they came 2 weeks ago. 23 were shipped but only 2 survived the plane flight. Perhaps the altitude temps were too cold? Anyway, the...
