    Hi, introducing myself!

    After decades of wanting backyard chickens, in 2008 I ordered 5 barred rock pullets from a local feed store. They were barred rocks, alright, but 4 pullets and 2 cockerels. Yes, their math was wrong but I got a free chick out of it. This was a great introduction to keeping chickens. Fast...

    Rouen lover

    I bought four unsexed ducks last year from TSC. Not knowing breeds, we picked two ducklings I assumed were Pekin and two that I thought may be khaki Campbell or Rouen. I ended up with two female Buff and two male Rouen ducks. The sweetest ducks ever. This winter I turned their baby pool upside...

    Introducing me :)

    Hello Greetings BYC. I am new to the community. I wanted chickens for about ten years before I got them and finally broke the seal 3 years ago with a small flock of 4. I then hatched a few and bought 5 different breeds from a feed store. Unfortunately, my flock dwindled down to 7 this past...

    Charlene’s mom here. I first posted in December and wrote about my sweet, stray RIR Charlene. She did great in our attached garage all winter, getting spoiled rotten.

    Hi. Looking forward to learning about chicken keeping and having fun doing it. We bought our 'retirement' home late last spring (40 acres) in a very rural area. We are lucky enough that there was already a chicken coop on the property. However it's not very big (4x8) and no run. We don't have...

    Had to rejoin the forum again

    No, I'm not new to having chickens. Back in the late 1980's and early 1990's was when my mum bought my first two chicks. One was a tiny Bantam (I still don't know his breed.) and the other was a White Leghorn hen, but she passed soon after her two months from a genetic disorder. It was because...

    Hi all. Grew up on a farm and got chickens by default-a banty and turken hens popped out of the the ramp when the truck came to load cattle for market. My dad hated chickens. The neighbors gave me a rooster and after 50+ chickens they were removed by another neighbor lol. Fast forward 40 years...

    My name is Kat, I’m fairly new to chickens in general. I got them around March this year (2018) and I’ve never been happier. They helped me through my horrible stage of depression and continue to do so! (1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? I suppose I am quite new to...

    Introducing myself- not sure this is right section!

    I got into keeping chickens by accident. We bought a house in the village near us in North Wales and the owners had 30 hens and a rooster and some guinea fowl. Some of them roosted up in the trees and others in the coops. I was shocked by the aggression of the guinea fowl who used to charge the...
