    Good evening, everyone! I'm new to chickens. I got 18 chooks about 1 month ago from a neighbour who was moving. The ladies are all about 1-2 years, and laying pretty well (10-12/day), considering the weather (chilly) and the fact that daylight is still relatively short. Ive never had chickens...

    Hi! I live in Santa Fe, Texas, and have my little coop out in the back. I had chickens last spring which I bought fully grown, but unfortunately we had a dog massacre. This spring my hubby and I are starting over with 11 chicks! Wish us luck!

    This Newbie Says Hello...

    (1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? I'm a complete rookie with barnyard animals of any kind. I inherited a flock of chickens when I moved houses in 2015, so despite having them for the last three years I'm still greatly inexperienced at raising chickens and looking to...

    Hello! I have some questions regarding bantams.

    Hello, tomorrow I am getting 4 bantams from Family, Farm and Home (like TSC) but I have some questions. I live in a very open basement (full sized windows, two almost 7by5 feet, 1/2 underground if that makes sense.) The only rooms closed off are the laundry toom and the bedrooms. I have 6 pet...

    Newbie to the world of

    My husband and I, since purchasing our home 2 years ago, have discussed raising a few hens. The other day he came home from running errands with 4 little chicks (2 barred rock and 2 araucana). I was so happy and suddenly way overwhelmed. We don't have a hen house (yet, hubby is in the works on...

    New to raising chicks

    Hi, We gave my daughter 2 australorp chicks (a blue australorp, and a splash australorp) as a belated Christmas present. They are almost 3 weeks old. They are part of our family already. This is our first experience of having chickens - we look forward to learning lots so we can take care of...

    Introduction

    Hi, sorry if this isn’t right, but I’m new to the sight, and want to introduce myself, then maybe post a couple of questions on another thread. Last spring, my husband and I surprised our 5 kids (who have never had pets but had been eyeing some chicks at a hardware store and begging) with 7...

    Newbie signing in!

    Hi, My name is Christina, I'm from New Zealand, and have had chickens around me off n on all my life, mostly as pets. Currently, we have 6 chooks. Had to get rid of the rooster, because it's against council bylaws to have a rooster in an urban area. Pity. He was a nice young man, and the...
