    Southern States is a dangerous place

    Quote: I am just nosy...what state do you live in? Most states require that you buy a minimum of 6 at a time. BTW... congrats! I live in Central Texas and the only place that requires you to buy six or more is Tractor Supply and that is only around Easter so that the Easter groups that buy...

    Got the first 50.....too cute

    Enjoy the chickens while they are growing and then enjoy the meaty goodness that they provide you and that they are all natural and not injected with hormones and additives like most super market chickens are prior to them being butchered. I would like to see those photos.

    A different way to water chickens-Avian Aqua Miser

    If I put a fifty gallon rubbermaid trash can as the water holding tank and mount it to where it gravity flows to the nipples through PVC Pipe will this work ok? Also, will I have to change the water out regularly or can I keep it in there until it runs out and then fill it back up again?

    Food for my Older Hens and younger chickens

    A.T. Hagan : If the chick starter contains ONLY Amprolium as the medication ingredient then it'll be safe to feed to the laying hens until the chicks are about eight weeks old or thereabouts. Offer oyster shell free choice on the side. When the chicks are about eight weeks old change them all...

    Best strategy when you want pet hens?

    Quote: You can't return roosters unfortunately. You can sell them on Craigslist or you could raise them and butcher them when they get big enough. If you go to several of the hatchery web sites that are on this web site you can select sexed pullets for not much more money than what Straight...

    Chicks from Tractor Supply

    Are Silkies a Bantam Chicken? If so do they lay good eggs to eat? Just curious since I don't know much about Silkies. Saw some feathered feet chicks in the bantam bin the other day at Tractor Supply but the clerk told me they were Bantams and that I wouldn't want them. Didn't notice if they had...

    Seriously. What am I going to do with all these chickens.

    Quote: Thats good to hear. Here in the Austin area of Texas we deal with scammers every day on Craisglist. I live out in the country too so it works out good to have them butchered and then smoked on the BBQ or in a stew or some good old chicken and dumplings. I used to work in a meat market...

    Seriously. What am I going to do with all these chickens.

    Quote: Sounds like one of thiose scams from Nigeria or other countries where they have you pay for the shipping and have you send them a money order for the shipping and then they keep the money order. Just say no unless they meet you in person to look at and buy them. I also wouldn't take...

    Seriously. What am I going to do with all these chickens.

    Have you looked into selling them on this web site since they have a section for chicken sales. I know it would be a pain to sell them and ship them but it would be better than sending them to the meat farm and them making money off of your chickens.

    When do chicks need a coop?

    Quote: The chicken coop is for the chickens to stay in at night and to lay their eggs in nesting boxes and to keep them in out of the weather and away from predators. They usually are in the coop in the evenings. It is usually where they roost at during the night. They also use it periodically...

Also, I...
