Please thank your husband for his service for me! I have a friend who is a deputy that used to be a K9 handler. I also volunteer for a group that raises money for a local police department's K9 unit. Mals are such gorgeous dogs.
Good morning everyone. Just checking in. Been really busy this week at work and haven't had a chance to say hello. One more day to get through before the weekend!
Our governor just issued a statewide mask mandate. Our Covid numbers here have been pretty good, but are starting to rise again...
I would say the average low temps here in winter would be around 20 degrees, but we do dip down below zero at times. We also get the occasional blizzard. Colorado, for the most part, has winters where it will be cold and snowy as heck one day, and sunny and mild the next. Thanks for all of the...
When I was young, I thought I was in Heaven when my parents bought a PONG game system for us kids for Christmas. That was a huge gift for us! We didn't get much else, but boy, was it worth it. Hooked it up to the old B&W TV in the basement (you know... the kind with the rabbit ears) and hit the...
Thanks for the info/suggestions! I will read up on them. Our neighbors are pretty easy going. I don't think they will have issues with typical "chicken sounds". Just wasn't sure if some breeds tend to be a little more quiet than others. Either way, I'm sure if they get free, fresh eggs every now...
I know each hen will have her own personality/traits, but would like breeds that are less likely to go broody, good layers, not flighty, not too noisy (neighbors). I have been looking at Barred Rocks, Rhode Island Reds, Australorps, and thought about sex links, but I hear so much about health...
Thank you! I'm not quite sure of breeds yet. I keep deciding on some, then changing my mind, then changing my mind again. At least I have plenty of time to decide. As for numbers, probably six. We live in the suburbs, and even though our city has no limits (just no roosters), I think that...
Hi Everyone,
I hope you don't mind me dropping in here. I was glad to see this thread and have spent the last couple of hours reading through it. It was nice to be able to read real words that weren't typed in "code" that has to be deciphered like the younger folks use now :cool:. I don't have...
There is a manufacturer with a location in Denver named McNichols. I haven't spoken with them, but they may be able to at least give you some info. I stumbled across their website the other day. www.mcnichols.com
Hello! I -joined this group a couple of weeks ago, so I am a newbie here too. I am also from Colorado, just south of Denver. I can only imagine your surprise with 20 chicks arriving and only ordering six! I hope you find good homes for them. We are getting ready to start building our coop and...
I have always wanted chickens, but really didn't seriously consider it until some friends and and a family member started raising them a few years ago. We asked tons of questions and learned a lot. I have been lurking here at BYC for awhile now, reading and learning. We plan to start our small...
