I'm wondering, how many people live near East Jordan/Boyne City? I'm thinking about spending the summer up there at the family farm and was wondering about other chicken people in the area.

Keyt,
I seriously wouldn't worry about your chickens. This is my first year with my chickens and I worried and worried. Then i had a water main break in my backyard. I had to move my coop to the garage (to hide em ) and with it the chickens. They have forsaken the cook to roost as they...

I have a question... (even though I also am wondering what TMB is )
my fav hen, Mable (black label), is the low hen on the totem pole. I saw that she had a black mark on her comb, kinda at the top. How do i distinguish it from a scab from being pecked or frost bite?
I have six hens that stay...

Hey Celia,
Now that i'm done with finals i can get on here. My girls (6) are out all the time i have the coop open. when it was really cold i had the heat lamp in the coop on but they still wouldn't go in it. Go figure. I don't think they like the snow. They have been huddling under my...

today i slept in late and didn't let the girls out til 1030a. they were all, let me get the heck outta here.. they didn't care about the snow (though not as much as you got) they just ran to the feeder which is in the driveway.

Thanks Celia,
I only have 6 but i only have me for leftovers and i eat those. I was in Aldis one day and they were throwing out nice soft (would have been great to eat that day) nectarines. They wouldn't give em over but said the dumpster was available after 8p LOL. my girls LOVED the...
In Texas when I was growing up, my folks always got the Safeway produce for the critters. They just put it in a dumpster in the back of the store. Times have changed, not always for the better! Too much waste!

i was going to try that at an aldis. I haven't gotten a chance yet but they...
I have 4 and 5 week old chickies and have had a great time feeding them from my hand. I try to pick them up every day, but it's finals week so maybe next week i'll be more faithful in that..
BUT i found that they LOVE turkey (i know i hear the poultry groans) but i don't care for the turkey...

I would suggest not shouting at the same time. They might associate it with your presence so then it would only be effective if you were around.

What do ya know!
I have a privacy fence
am hiding my coop in the backyard
Loud hens will go in the freezer or be sold
and same with roosters
plus already asked closest neighbors and two don't mind and one sorta does but I'll bribe them all with eggs
Do you think because of this that...
I'm going to start with 15 straight run barred rock and RIR with one white java thrown in. They are hatching 4/1. Since i'm in the city i'm planning to keep 3-4 hens. This is my first foray into chickens and everyone thinks i'm crazy. I'm planning on converting an old cockatoo cage into a coop...
