    Feeding my new layers

    Ok, so 2 days ago I got my first egg from one of my Buckeyes. I was really surprised because they aren't quite 20 weeks yet, and I was under the impression I'd be waiting a while longer for this breed to lay. Then yesterday I found another egg. Buckeyes don't lay everyday right? I don't know...

    Buckeye pullets or cockerels

    I bought these as chicks. They hatched on m birthday. They are just over 9 weeks old today. I ordered 6 and received 7, but I'm only allowed 6 hens, and no roosters. I've been holding off getting rid of any so I don't get rid of the wrong bird/s. There are a couple that look suspicious to...

    becoming chicken crazy!

    I'm a chicken newbie, but I currently have 7, 8 week old Buckeyes. I haven't handled them a ton, mostly just moving them, or weighing them, but mine are pretty friendly. My 4 and 7 year old love them, and if we are just sitting outside with them, they will hop in our lap. They are very busy...

If they are all girls I'll name her, but she's the backup in case someone's chick turns out to be a rooster and we have to get...

    What do I want in a shed/coop?

    Wow! Thanks for pointing out all those things. I bookmarked that link. These are the kinds of things I was hoping to have pointed out. I never thought about snow berms. I've been here 3 winters and I've never had snow accumulation much over a foot, if that, at any given time, but I did have...

    What do I want in a shed/coop?

    I looked at prefab coops, and I found most were cheap garbage, mostly from China, and tiny. Ones that seem big enough and better quality (probably not from everyone here's perspective lol) are expensive compared to a shed I could buy, twice the size, brand new. I have looked for used sheds. I...

    New to chickens

    Hello everyone. I always saw myself with chickens someday, but never lived anywhere where I could have them. I've been a bird lover since I was a little kid, and loved researching different birds, but my hands on experrience is mostly limited to parrots. I finally live somewhere where I can...
