Paula - where do you get your fish meal? It really is true the chickens need the animal protein. I've had chickens here for four years around 2000 - 2005. Used Budget Feed's fishmeal feed/barley/etc, my chickens had great feathers, glossy, and always healthy. Then left the state for five...

Hi, I have Buff Chanteclers, Gold Brabanters, Cream Brabanters, Blue-black Ameraucanas, and one Black Copper Marans pullet. I'm between Palmer and Wasilla.

A lot depends on the terrain of hills, meadows, low areas, etc, number of trees and bushes, and the layout of the neighborhood. Some neighborhoods have square lots which keeps some distance between houses; some have the long skinny lots which is too little room between the houses (where ten...

Hi - I'm interested. When I hit the link, I could only get the log-in page. I'm not on Facebook and don't wouldn't use it if I was. Can you supply info? I'd really like to meet some local BYC people.

Akpeeps - I'm interested in your Sussex, EE, and any Silky or Orp pullets. Email me through site - I don't know if it works?

Its finally spring here and I think everyone is outside now, PaulaJoAnne. I've never used an incubator so I cannot help. Sorry.

MrsDeb - nice score with the dark cornish! Glad they found a nice home. How is the hatch coming? -Jessie

For the grrown up birds, I put the flat side for them to sit on after seeing posts on here about that. When they are small, you can use branches of trees. Just fasten them really well so they don't turn. I use 1x2s when they are very small. Meat birds grow so fast have the larger roost boards...

Welcome to BYC, Spring Flowers! I'm in Palmer and all gravel and sand too, no topsoil. Chickens are going to help turn some sand into a garden. Hi, Okieinalaska, I was eyeing those cochins on Craigs List too! Glad they got a good home. There was a trio of dark cornish on Craigs List too. I'm...

Your question "The cost range of places allowing livestock?" is difficult without knowing how much house you need. Then matching that to how much you can afford to figure how much land will come with it. I just looked for 5 or ten acre pieces. The larger lots thin out the number of...

Hi Tokajein. I'm between Palmer and Wasilla. Lots of people have chickens. Mostly rural feel here. Its a farming area. And close enough to Anchorage for lots of gentleman farmers. Mostly, be aware of subdivision covenants before you buy - they spell out limits for livestock, horses, etc. But...
