Welcome from another Tarheel! I have a black snake that's been eating my eggs. I've found a shed skin, but haven't sighted the snake yet. I know from the skin that it's every bit as big as the last one pictured below. I'd like to relocate it, but it's eluding me. Last time I had one it ate one...

Great choices! You'll have a very nice crew of ladies.

I put my two sets of babies together two weeks ago. The Salmon Faverolles were 10 weeks and the rest were 5 weeks. The Faverolles seem be slower growing than the others, so they were close in size. There wasn't any problems at all. Might have helped that the two Australorps are very precocious...

Easter Eggers could be a good choice too. I've got one that lays like an ISA (6/7 days a week) and they all lay various shades of eggs so you can tell who lays. Clean legged and lighter bodied than a lot of other breeds. They also come in many various colors in plumage, and seem to take good...

I'm really glad you are adding to the flock. Chickens really do need company of other chickens. You'll learn alot about being responsible for other critters and honestly chickens are easier to keep than a lot of other pets as long as you set yourself up for success with a good coop and schedule...

I've never ordered a male on purpose and so far I've gotten 2 roos from sexed pullets LOL. You'll probably have more than just those two light brahmas.

I installed one of these livestock mineral feeders for grit and oyster shell. One in one side and the other in the second. Works fantastic and no waste that I can tell. I screwed into the side of my hen house wall that is about 6-8" off the ground...

Thank you. I don't have any drawings since the contractor just stick built them on site. Sorry.

Mine is far from perfect, but here's what I did. The ventilation is better than it looks since the space above the hen house wall does not go all the way into the rafters, so it's open completely. My property is also completely shaded by trees as you can see, so the heat is dramatically reduced...

I have the Chicken Guard door and opener. I had to fiddle with the door tracks a few times to get the door to slide closed reliably, but that's because I'm an idiot without a level.LOL. The dusk to dawn sensor works perfectly even under the massive trees that shade my entire backyard. I've been...

Last time I went they had Golden Comet pullets, Buff Orpington St run, Australorp Pullets, Barred Rock St Run, Americauna (easter egger) pullets, and a Mystery bin that they had no idea cause the labels fell off the boxes LOL.

I need to go buy feed today, and hopefully they won't have any more chicks I'd like to add. If I stay true and don't impulse buy, here's this years additions. My Golden Comet pullet Blanche. I picked up the two Salmon Faverolle pullets as well. Paris (Hilton) in the front and Robin (Actress...

Ya, I mostly call them Easter Egger. It was kinda hilarious that the girl at TSC said very strongly that they are AMERICAUNA. I'm like ummm ok if you say so. I'm hoping it looks more like the bottom white/black/barred looking one, because I already have two that are partridge. One very...

Does anyone have an Ameracauna chick that was colored like this? I'm wondering what color she will eventually be.

True. Maybe Wheaten Marans X Buff Brahma? The penciling on the neck is really what's making me think it.

Did the lady raise buff brahma too? Something just says buff brahma to me. At 6 months old though I'd think a brahma would have more substance.

Beautiful babies. The two look the same age to me, but I'm far from an expert.

I have managed to score 2 Salmon Faverolle that a friend got 5 weeks ago!!!! She ordered 31 and only got 16, but can spare me two of them. I'm super happy, but now I'll have three groups to tend LOL. The little biddies in the house brooder, the 2 in my Coop de Ville, and the main flock in the...

They did offer to send the ones they still had which was only the Orpingtons, Australorps, and the Whiting, but the reschedule earliest date was August. I didn't want to have fall chicks this year, roll over till next year, or pay the small order fee so I cancelled it instead. I like a diverse...

So I finally checked my email and Murray McMurray can't ship my order. They had one of the farms test positive for Avian Influenza and I had multiple chicks that were coming from that flock. I had to cancel my order of 16 :( I went to TSC and picked up a few babies and the employee there said...
