Hi, the Foremex ended up housing 6 Minorcan hens and a rooster. The coop has been great and is currently empty as it’s been moved so it will be sickbay/new hens/chicks. As needed by current needs. One of the reasons it was bought was it’s portability. It works and looks the same as the day it...

Part of the stress of tracking is the USPS no longer shows all the tracking information. When the box leaves Cackle, it goes to the local post office then to Kansas City and then to the next distribution center, after Kansas City, I get no updates until it arrives at my local post office.

Welcome to BYC, and chicken math is real.

Losing chickens is always difficult. We maintain over 200+ chickens and are about to add another 100 or so. We've had hawk issues off and on for several years and have tried many ways to keep them out. We have, with success, been attracting crows to our land and the hawks tend to keep their...

I’ve stopped buying from TSC, I’m not addressing health or bird care, I’m addressing the amount of roosters I’ve gotten a disproportionately amount of roosters even when I bought sexed chicks. The manager at TSC I talked to blamed Hoovers. It occurred 4 times so I went back either hatching my...

I have a 2 year old very large NJG rooster and he sometimes lays down or stretches out. He has done it more since I reduced the size of the flock. He has trapezoid style roosts and he sits under one at night.

Electric fencing works best to dissuade ground predators

IMHO, usually a few days and they’ll go back to a normal routine. Raccoons will return, I’ve added electric fencing around the perimeter fence and it helps with all ground based predators.

Wait til you break 100

This is the first year since 2014 that I don’t have new chicks. I have for coops and 110 hens who are all laying and the oldest is just over 18 months. I welcome New chicken owners and help as I can. It’s exciting to see people enjoy chickens. The trouble is so many people buy chickens without...

Yes, I have but they do not hatch them

I’ve used McMurray, Ideal, and Cackle with good results. I’d love to find them locally but I’ve not found anyone who raises them

Hi, and thank you. We currently have 110 chickens and we are looking at others to expand. ISA Browns are a very viable option we’ve looked at. ive never gotten good chicks from my local TSC so I order them from several hatcheries. More chickens will mean a new coop and run.

Temperature and hydration can be serious issues especially if they were mailed.

Hi, I’m in the tiny community of Mowbray, north of Chattanooga. I’ve been looking for a breeder that raises Lohmann Browns. They are hard to find.
