Thank you for the feedback. I really liked their appearance in the pics, and looking forward to a good number of white eggs. Read about the big combs. Haven't had a problem with any of my current birds but we've had two pretty mild winters in a row. Thanks again.

Welcome!

Welcome to BYC!

Thank you foe the feed-back! That helps a lot. That type of behavior would be just fine. I plan on having my kids spend a bit of time with them as chicks so hopefully they may start out a little less flighty around people. Thanks again!

Welcome to BYC! You made a good choice with the buffs. Don't have a lot of experiences with geese, but most have not been good. They are territorial and will attack at times. The BO's are sweet, friendly hens, and will make good pets in addition to being good layers. And should you decide to...

Welcome to BYC! I've just been a member about a year and a half. Lots of good info and helpful members.

Welcome! Big fan of the mixed flock concept, myself. Glad to have you aboard. How do you like your Marans? I will be receiving a Blue Copper this July and she will be my first Marans. Looking forward to the darker colored eggs.

Welcome to BYC! Love the mixed flock concept, too. We have 13 hens, made up of RIR's, Buff Orpingtons, Easter Eggers, and one Australorp. Do you like the production reds? We are going to be starting over in July and are looking at Red Stars. If my middle kid joins 4-H this spring, we may be...

I like your way of thinking. We love a wide variety in our flock. We currently have Buff Orpingtons, RIR's, EE's, and an Australorp. Looking to start over and expand this July with ISA Browns/Red Star, RIR's, EE's, silver and gold laced Wyandottes, Welsummers, Buff Orpington, Ancona's, and one...

I will be having 2 Ancona's delivered in July as part of a mixed group of hens for our small backyard flock. We will ultimately end up with about 20 hens. I am having several breeds new to me delivered. Most of them are known to me either by having owned them or having friends who have...

Looks like others have given you some good advise on temps for moving your chicks outside to the coop. I have some friends who lost birds by moving them out too soon, or at least not providing some additional warmth on some cold early spring evenings. Even down south, we can have some fronts...

Thanks for the description of their temperament and laying habits. Sounds like the BCM should fit right it. My youngest daughter is the main reason we went with the BO's. Great personality, and they have been really good layers when not trying to nest. Two of the four have been broody for a...

Looking forward to my first Blue Copper Marans this July. It was a last minute addition to my order. Really wanted the Black Copper variety, but they were all gone for the week of my initial order so I had to choose another variety. Looking to spice up my egg colors with some darker shades of...

I am just in my first year and a half of chicken ownership. I have a total of 13 hens, and my coop is 4'x12' feet. I have read what most others have that 3-4 feet interior space is needed per bird inside. However, I have noticed that this seems to be more than adequate for my flock of buffs...

Thank you for the response. May be a while unless I just want to write up some posts just for postings sake!

Can someone let me know why I keep getting the message that I don't have authorization to submit reviews? I am a member with a password and can submit threads and comment to threads but am not allowed to review or comment on reviews. Cannot find a BYC contact either to ask about this issue...

The guys at chickendoors.com have been very helpful and responsive. I had a number of questions before I bought the pullet shut door and they patiently answered all of my questions and helped me decide which options were the best for my location. They can probably help with your situation...
