    Hello from Upstate South Carolina!

    I am a total chicken newbie despite my husband referring to me as Chicken Lady. We have 16 chicks coming in a few weeks and 9 eggs after that we will try to hatch. My husband and I, along with our kids age 5 and 9, just bought 108 acres in Greenwood, SC. We *inherited* 7 unruly goats, two...

    Don't be too jealous of the goats! We have seven and we *think* 5 are girls and 2 are boys. Two look pregnant but we have read that it's hard to tell. They haven't really been around people, we don't know how old they are, they have horns...We are really talking about not keeping these and...

    We just got back from the farm and daydreaming. Figuring out where to put my chickens! We're fortunate to have three very nice ponds (the largest is about 3 acres) and they are all stocked. The big pond had about 45 geese on it today. The entire property is fenced and cross-fenced and we have...

    Off to research this CSA thing... I've always been an entrepreneur, just not in farming or animals! A chicken Mansion... sounds lovely but my husband would NEVER go for that! All he wants to do is plant corn. Susanne

    What would you do for your chickens? We are just starting out on our farm, have 108 acres and (thanks to my husband) money to spend on our new venture. Nothing totally crazy, but if you could design your dream chicken area, what would it be? How big? What would it contain? We are in the process...

    Chicken Virgin... My babies are coming and I have a couple questions

    Hi! My chicks will be here in a few weeks and I'm trying to get ready for their arrival. It's almost as complicated as getting ready for a baby! I have 14-16 chicks arriving. What size brooder do I need? From what I've read, they will be using that for about 2 weeks and then what? I think they...
