My grandmother grew up with my great grandmother and they raised meat birds, and lived off the grid homesteading. I got my first chickens late April this year. (2) How many chickens do you have right...

    Hi, I’m new to BYC!

    Hey there, new BYC member (Jenny) here. I’ve joined this website because I often have a few queries regarding my chickens. I’ve got six hens and a hybrid cockerel:). I’m fairly new to owning a rooster, he’s just under a year old.

    Hi from South Australia, southern suburbs.

    We've had chooks since Nov/Dec 2017, currently have 2 black Australorps and one lavender/white bantam 'not an Aracuna because it has a tail, but it lays blue eggs so???' Favourite part of having hens is their bizarre personalities and the way they look permanently indignant. We're also...

    Hey there 😊 Just joined, although I've been using the advice here on and off for a while. I grew up on a farm with chickens, but that was a loooong time ago!

    New to SC and Chickens

    Hello! My name is Olivia. 3 months ago my husband and I moved from Florida to SC. I have always wanted chickens and now have the space and zoning to do so. I want to learn as much as I can before I actually build a coop and purchase chickens. I’m hoping this group can point me in the right direction

    Odd little Aquila - thoughts?

    Hi, I’ve searched for more on this but these hybrid Aquilas seem too new for much to be out there on them either on Google on here in threads. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I’m curious both from anyone with Aquilas OR with birds in their lineage (RIR, Australorps, White Rock) if you noted them staying small or...
