    Glad to be a new member

    I have had my chickens two years now. I’ve lost a few and am down to 17. I only have Buff Orphingtons. In my pre-owning research I found they were a good all around bird. Good for meat or eggs. They are good layers, tend to go broody, and are good mamas. They are also a pretty docile bird...

    New chick on the block

    Hi, I am sort of new to chickens. I had a very small flock of bantam hens when my girls were younger. We enjoyed them very much and eventually lost them to coyotes! So 15 years later I decided to try again, and am coyote proofing this time! I recently ordered a colored egg assortment from...

    Hey everyone, Gill Jones here, I’m not new to keeping chickens. We have had chickens for years here on the ranch, we mainly keep them for the eggs though and are not accustomed to hatching our own chicks. We normally buy them from the feed store in McKinney, TX. i don’t think I remember a time...

    Too many chickies in Northern Michigan

    Hi there! I’m a new chicken owner in northern Michigan. Our family of six just moved up here for my husbands job and our desire to live out of the city and homestead. We just got our first chicks, and I probably overdid it and ordered too many. The hatchery also sent extras, so we’re totaling at...

    Saying Hello

    Hello all. :) I'm a brand new backyard chicken keeper living in the Tacoma, WA area. My family is one of the many who decided to keep chickens during the ongoing pandemic. I had thought about getting them before, but decided against it because I wasn't sure I could handle the extra...

    Hi there, until recently I was terrified of birds

    And then I found ducks. Believe it or not, until recently I was absolutely terrified of birds. At thirty years old, I would jump if a pigeon got too close. Actually, I still do that. I was also very against any visit to my sister in law's house because she had free range chickens and their...
