    Neighborhood hawk

    My chicks just went outside and had been in their coop for less than 2 days before the neigborhood hawk showed up. Could not find a way in so it left. I knew it would happen but didn't think it would be that fast. It was sitting on top of the coop before I could take a pic.

    Looking for Easter Eggers chicks

    I will second Ideal poultry. Since they are close to me I just drive an hour to pick up at the feed store in the town they are in. Healthy chicks so far. About 3 weeks in.

    Right temp

    I think the temp is just right. Not all huddled together and not all away on the edges.

    New peepers today

    Finally after some years without chickens we got our start at another flock. Got ameracuana easter eggers, black austrailops, buff orpington and red star (sex linked). Now I have to get a move on finishing the coop.

    OMG! Don't look the gift horse in the mouth. Update post #23

    This is taken from our family blog about the end of the chickies. They originally had a processor date of Apr. 1 but with the we weather followed by a severe drop in temps we processed about 5 days sooner. Good thing we did because they were wet from all the rain ans would have been chicken...

    OMG! Don't look the gift horse in the mouth. Update post #23

    QUICK UPDATE: 1) The dog got 1 of the chickies. She busted through the vinyl fence and licked one and bit several times. I decided to cull the bird and disposed of her. I didn't want to risk getting anything from the dog bite as it would have already circulated through her system. 2) The...

    Feed substitution

    Is it possible to feed meat birds starter feed (24% protein) or do they need specifically 21% protein. I have seen posts of people feeding game bird and turkey feed, both high percentage protein (~28%). The reason is I cannot find broiler feed that is UNmedicated. All that the local coop...

    OMG! Don't look the gift horse in the mouth. Update post #23

    It's all go for Sunday pick up. Now the question is do I just get 50 or do I take all she has? Total would be about 75 with majority being 6 weeks old and the rest 4 weeks old. I sorta feel bad to just take all she has but she wants to get rid of them and if no one else has requested any...

    OMG! Don't look the gift horse in the mouth. Update post #23

    So here's the deal. I got an email from a friend that knows we "do" chickens. The email is a forward from another friend that says she has 50 6 week old and 20 or so 4 week old broilers that she wants to give away. Yes, GIVE away as in FREE. I got ahold of her and said my momma told me if...
