    Hi!

    I'm terrible at introductions, so I'm stealing the copy paste template! (1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? We bought our first bantam chickens in April 2022, added 8 new chicks in May, and 6 hens in June. (2) How many chickens do you have right now? More than I...

    Introducing solo new chicken - terrible idea???

She is in their run or our fenced in garden, so our current flock can see her but not get to her. She is the same age and size as our other hens. We...

    I always wanted to live and care for a farm with animals

    I was getting ready in 2019 to buy chickens for my farm after doing research on chicken keeping and talking to farmer friends. Unfortunately I ended up going through a divorce instead. In April of this year my children’s father decided to buy chickens and ducks for our teenagers and his...

    Newbie to BYC; Chicken Farmer Since 2019

    Hello, all! I am a pretty new chicken farmer, but I love it! What got me started was two things: Drawing caricatures of kids (it was one of my regular jobs for decades!) and the Mark Lewis documentary, "The Natural History of the Chicken". If you haven't watched that, you can see it for free...

    Insert Chick Pick-up Line Here:

    Salutations, my most excellent dudes! New to raising chickens, and I’ve probably done everything wrong at least once. I totally got fleeced from UrbanNorthern Coops and paid an obscene amount for a coop that has the structural integrity of a wet cardboard box. On a positive note, I haven’t lost...
