Well I get about the same. I am not to worried about winter. I can adjust heat as needed when I can. Just worried about that late July and Early August heat.
Ok, so I finally will have the dogs fenced in complete. I really want to get a rare breed of continental chicken for the coop that I am building after this. Any suggestions? I need a breed that can handle the Mississippi Delta heat.
There are a lot of duck pluckers in Stuttgart area that might process a chicken. Look around for duck pluckers or ask around at the hunting stores. After the duck season they close up shop though.
I will be in Monticello Monday checking on my house I have there. Lived there for two years, or rather my wife and kids did while I was deployed and she was working on her masters. Got to see what work I need to do and if I can put it on the market.
Oh yeah! you seem to be more the old pro around here. I am but a young pup. That is alright though I am just glad all this weather if finally stopping so I can work in my yard and get my fence put in so I can get a step closer to those chickens I want.
Here is SE AR the weather is cold. The wind is zooming across the prairie and my poor dogs are freezing. I got hay put it in their houses and both of them have pulled it all out. So, I have put them both up against the house since the wind is howling and the yard is flooded. A good high spot...
Glad everyone had an excellent time. I hope that everyone made it home with no issues. Hopefully next time we can make it and I will have some chickens.
My wife keeps looking at me like I am crazy, and my kids keep telling me my dogs are going to kill all the chickens I get. We will see. I have to get a coop put together first though. I know I am going to have to get my daughter some silkies, and I know that I have to get some that lay eggs...
Well I am trying to learn all I can before I jump in the chicken game. Any suggestions on breeds that do well in Arkansas? I am also working on a coop design and was wondering when I needed to plan on getting chickens? When is the best time?
