    Looking into St Cloud MN

    Hi! I'm looking at a possible house to move to in St Cloud, MN. The house doesn't have appropriate fencing for me to look into chickens right away, but I'd like to have them again someday - can anyone tell me if it's legal there?

    ROAD TRIP!!

    Brinsea EcoGlow Brooder, 12x8. And Thursday night it went down to 60. Going to be in the 50s the next handful of days. I figured if they were shivering in the morning, that wasn't good.

    ROAD TRIP!!

    UPDATE - they were shivering the next morning, even with the moving blanket over the brooder box. Okay, so it's not keeping enough warmth for them overnight. SO we had to unhook everything and bring them back inside, and we'll just try taking them out to the run each day and bringing them...

    Saginaw TX doubling allowable numbers of hens!

    I did want to update that the City Council finally got the actual ordinance officially online in June, and I finally remembered to update the article I have on it: https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/saginaw-texas-chicken-ordinance-update-raised-limit-2020.75046/

    ROAD TRIP!!

    Our baby flock is now 3 weeks old - and I gotta tell you that brooder box is getting outgrown QUICK with six in there. They're not totally feathered out, though. So - today we moved them to the run extension, Cera can see them and is fascinated but can't get to them. (She *has* gotten some...

    Weak yolks?

    The birds in question were about a year old. They eat a commercial chicken feed.

    Newly Obsessed

    Welcome to BYC! Good luck with getting the ordinances in your favor. I think borrowing hens to be grandfathered in is brilliant.

    Weak yolks?

    I've noticed that the eggs I get from my own chickens seem to have a much higher percentage of yolks breaking the moment I break the egg to cook with it, than I ever got with eggs from the store. And sometimes when they do break, it's not like a yolk with yellow leaking out, it's just SMOOSH...

    Anybody have Ideal 236 Leghorn hybrids?

    He was a bantam cochin cockerel. A very sweet boy. We suspected boy for a while, then he started crowing. We are not allowed roosters here. Found him a home with a family east of Dallas that was raising goats and chickens, mostly bantams. His first act on arriving was to pop out into the face...

    ROAD TRIP!!

    We've been driving for many hours. Now in Arkansas, getting closer to Texas. Lots of CHEEP CHEEP CHEEP from the back seat. It'll be midnight or so when we get home. I've told the rest of the family that we'll want unloading help, and then we are going to do a formal unboxing, and introducing...

    ROAD TRIP!!

    I had a set of 4 names planned. Now, do I keep those, and come up with a new pair of additional names for the Barred Rock girls? Or do I try to come up with a new set of 6 names?

    ROAD TRIP!!

    Here are the four girls we originally ordered: White marans Buff Orpington: I think this is the Speckled Sussex And I think this is the Rhode Island Red: And then there was chicken math. Much hoped for chicken math this time. We postponed our pick up in hopes of it, and they had us wait...

    ROAD TRIP!!

    BEBIES! More pictures when we get to the hotel tonight. Meyer Hatchery was great, very nice people! We delayed our pick up to wait to see if there were any overhatchings, and successful chicken math happened. I have an adorable flock of six! We made a special travelling small brooder box...
