Just stopped in to say Hello, fellow New Mexicans!

I'm in southern New Mexico and I get $4/dozen for my eggs but I've seen them go for as low as $2.50 on Craigslist. The money collected goes to my son anyways. He feeds, waters, collects, cleans, and free ranges them so he deserves it.

Great info BYC, I searched for two minutes before I found this topic that I was looking for. Very nice, indeed. I'm introducing 3 Barred Rock chicks into my flock of 7. 3 RIR's, 2 Orphs, and 2 EE's.

Happy Easter, just wanted to check if you had a rooster still available? They are beautiful Roos and I could use one for breeding. Thanks in advance, Mario

Rekindling an old post, I have 7 hens and while they turn in at dusk to hen house they are usually out and about an hour or so before sunrise. Sometimes even earlier. Is this normal? I mean it's pitch black and they kind of wander around the run. I'll turn on the light to the run to check on...

Great thread, I have to admit that I locked myself in the run once before. I'm in the middle of a remodel to my coop and run setup and had installed a new door with a quick latch locking mechanism. I walked in and didn't want the girls to get out so not thinking I shut the door behind me...

Fried Green Tomatos, lol. Nice coop and run

So, how long have you had the artificial grass in the nest boxes? That's amazing that there is no droppings in the nests. I might have to give that a try. thanks for sharing.

I have an established honeysuckle vine that they love to eat. Its climbed up so far that they can only get to the lower leaves.

the site is looking good, I like the changes

awesome thread, I hadn't give it much thought but I definitely see the advantages to PPE. I use a dust mask while working on my yard due to my allergies anyways. thanks,

Quote: I am relatively new to chickens (Mar 2014) but I introduced two new chickens to my initial flock. I started with 3 RIR-s and 2 EE's. I had a friend give me a couple orp's a couple of weeks back. When we first introduced them they were very skittish around me and truthfully one still...

I'd love to have a Buff Orp Roo but I'm a long ways away from you. Do you have any pics?

Its coming together, I'm about to start a new coop and run project too. I'm still in the design phase but I am already stockpiling some materials for the build. I figure I'll start in a couple of weeks. Before you know it, you will have some happy chickens. What breed of chickens are you...

I planted a 16 plant garden in beginning of 2014 and my chickens took a liking to it quickly. Truthfully so did my dog, she really enjoys digging up loose dirt. I went to an 18" wire mesh fence around it and the chickens never quite figured out that they could easily get over it and my Bella...

The first two started laying in August but I have yet to see anything from the third. My EE's also have yet to produce any eggs. In due time, I'll just have to be patient. I let them out daily from the run but they are kept in a secondary open run with no eggs in the area. Thanks,

What do you think of my RIR's? A lil over 9 months. I'm thinking 3rd one shown is a rooster. Any ideas? Thanks in advance,

Here are some pictures of our flock. Love raising chickens, they are so fun to be around.

Thank you, so true on the math.

I'll get a pic posted soon, thanks, "awesome you just can't have one" lol I'll have to get dimensions on my coop. It was a store bought one that I have since modified and added onto. My run is about 10'x10' and we let them out into their portion of my backyard daily (usually from 3pm until...
