    Coop too small, yep…. And it’s cold outside!

    Well yall, posted some pics to the FB to update my friends and family about the girls. Had them in a newly acquired coop and run that we got from a friend. This new addition is for about 3-4 grown birds but I had the 6- 6 week olds out in it to enjoy some sun and fun, and to slowly get them...

    Predator vs Black Chicken, Old Crow Medicine Show?

    and I mis-typed a little bit. I get in a hurry sometimes and I lose my stream of thought. I will eventually need to add. I do realize I'll need to do it a little further out, but I'm a planner. LOL. Plus I think I'm addicted a little bit.

    Predator vs Black Chicken, Old Crow Medicine Show?

    Y'all, I appreciate all the information!!! I'm a planner and I do like to plan ahead and then plan a contingency. My girls are about 5-6 weeks and we are in the process of moving from the brooder box to the outside. I have a 20x10x6 1/2 ft run that we will have to assemble ( chicken wire). I...

    Predator vs Black Chicken, Old Crow Medicine Show?

    We do have some crows around but as the fields and forest become a concrete jungle, we have less and less. We do have a nice family of hawks that hunt the area occasionally. I've always looked at it as a good "sign" like God was smiling at me when I walk outside in the mornings to go to work...

    Predator vs Black Chicken, Old Crow Medicine Show?

    I'm thinking you're probably right. My thoughts were that it may work for a short period, but when that hawk flies over and sees those black chickens long enough, it's going to fly in and get a closer look. To the credit of the TS Chicken Ladies.... It is a good sales tool! LOL!!! I'll...

    Predator vs Black Chicken, Old Crow Medicine Show?

    Doing some shopping at the Local Tractor Supply on Saturday and one of the "Chicken Ladies" suggested we get a couple of Black Hens. She said that Hawks, Eagles and other birds of Prey would think they were Crows, and leave the flock alone. Has anyone else had experience with this "Medicine...

    Rookie Once again

    Update..... 6 Golden Comets are now calling a brooder box, in my bathroom home! LOL... I guess if I can find some Barred Rock hens later, I'll have to get some of those too. Tractor Supply only has straight runs, and I don't want to be in the Rooster business.

    Supply Houses

    When I was raising chickens before, I remember there being a couple of good, online supply houses. We locally have Tractor Supply, Southern States and a couple others which aren't quite as easy as the "Amazon". I would rather catch the local shops but occasionally I need to buy something...

    Rookie Once again

    Greetings! My wife and I had about a half a dozen chickens over 10 years ago. We let our flock diminish and got out of the chicken life. Now, over 10 years later, we are looking to get back into the Chicken Life. We are looking to get some Golden Comet peeps here soon and start our new...
