And it is difficult, we know there are a lot of places for sale down south, but finding them has been a problem since most are for sale by owner and not posted online anywhere. lol
We currently live in ohio, but looking to move between georgia and arkansas and Kentucky areas.
My current broilers are coming out 6+lbs at 11 weeks. 5+ at 9weeks and 4+ at 8 exactly.
We have not found where we want to settle down and farm at yet to be able to locate a supplier or mill, but I currently make my own soy and corn free grain mix for my small batch broilers and layers that I ferment. I dont think it would be too difficult to order bulk supplies and mix my own...
Hello fellow chicken crazies!
Ive been raising city chickens for egg and meat for several years. Growing up on a farm, all I have wanted to do is get myself back to a farm life.
My husband has finally caught farm fever (thank god) and we are looking now into getting a usda loan for a property...
Alright, so super weird question!
I have an aquarium hobby and I have several extra bags of SeaChem flourite black sand just sitting around.
I also have 3ish week old chicks that want to dust bathe!
This aquarium sand is a "porous clay gravel" that has not been treated or coated in any way...
Yeah... I plan on putting a coop in my back porch area. I have a 15x15 screened in patio and then the house attatched that makes a U shape around a 20x30 old flagstone open patio with a 5x30 old flower bed along the house. Was planning on fencing it in with 6 foot high fence, putting netting...
Thanks a lot!
Thats what I thought. I dont plan on keeping any roosters so if one of my little brooder babies starts to crow.. well.. his name will become soup really fast or he will head out to the farm I keep my horses at. XD
Hello everyone!
As my name suggests, just a country girl stuck in the city. Ive been pestering my husband for a good 10 years to get some chicks and this year was the year! He surprised me with some tsc babies this week for my birthday.
It was a little sudden for me, as we dont have a coop...

I will be building a small coop in my back yard over the next few weeks to month. Ive got 10 chicks in a brooder now about a week old. Ive double checked and double checked my city ordinances...
