Hey Buckeyes! I have Silkie chicks coming, but will have extras. I was in on an order with someone who backed out. I could cancel, but I figured I would check with you folks. Does anyone want a few? I would rather ship the larger group.
Not sexed, color is a variety, they are vaccinated.
I'm...
They are in the coop with extra bedding and the chicken door closed almost all the way. It's the only time I've ever closed it. I'm working at home tomorrow so I'll open it in case they want to come out, but I can keep an eye on them. They have a heated hanging waterer and half the run is...
Okay NEOH peeps, help me work this out. We all know about the upcoming frigid temperatures. I am in Northeast Ohio. I'm struggling with adding more bedding and keeping them in their coop, versus trying to bring them in the garage and stress them as well. Will they be actually warmer in their...
Hey chicken owners in the Cleveland OH area. If you live in the city or in the suburbs, I want to create a little focus group for a business idea I have. If you're willing, I'll buy you Starbucks for an hour or so of your time. Please PM me if interested, and tell me where you live and how many...
I'm looking for stats on backyard chicken owners in Ohio. Most places don't require a permit for backyard chickens. Where would I find this info? Any ideas?
It was on Nextdoor, I haven't heard back after a few inquiries. I told him if he caught it I could house it until the owner was found. Hopefully it just went home.
Where do you live? I'm near Chagrin Falls, and someone reported seeing a peafowl or guinea hen in the area, but I'm not sure he really knew what kind it was.
Look outside of the City of Columbus, the whole county is considered Columbus. Try Marysville area, Lancaster area, Circleville area. Where exactly are you going to be working, downtown? Just be aware that the Columbus housing market is on fire, so you're probably going to have to move out a...
And again...any NEOH chicken people want to work with me on run design? I have a few ideas. Also, what do you do in the winter when the snow is two feet deep? I'm thinking about moving mine closer to the house and giving them a smaller run for those months.
Northeast Ohio chicken people...can you recommend an avian vet in case I need one? I'm in the east suburbs of Cleveland. My vet doesn't work with poultry.
I'm not sure that's ever going to happen :hit
Do you put wood shavings or straw in your nesting boxes?
Will they need a heat lamp in the winter, or will they be ok?
If I don't want to start with chicks, where do I get older birds locally?
Here's the coop I'm going to get I think. It's raised a little but not enough for them to get under. I'm only going to have 4-6 chickens, but have room for 1-2 more if needed. Damn chicken math! They have pretty awesome runs too. I can probably put some insulation underneath and block it off in...
