Howdy!
It's been a bit since I've been back to this account. I've scanned relevant info from time to time in the past 6 (wow!) years, but haven't been very active. It's a shame, too. But, I'm back! Yay?
Based on the above, you can figure that I'm not *new* to chickens. Our first flock was...
(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
This is my third time owning chickens. I first had them as a kid.
(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
I now have 48! Eight laying hens, 8 juveniles, 5 roosters (I'm trying to rehome some of them). I just got an order of...
I have two young (10 week) beautiful Andalusian Roos. That is two too many. I'm not going to continue with this breed. These boys were hand fed, so they are about as friendly as this breed can get. They are starting to pick on each other, and that's with 10 acres of free range and 16 ladies. I...

Hello all!
I've had chickens for almost a decade, mostly Easter eggers and a few Jersey giants and one Island Red rooster that's a bit slow in the head(it seems).
Usually I just buy live chicks to refresh the DNA pool but I had some experience in the past at incubating but not much.
Hopefully I...
I'm looking to sell my white amerucanas, I'm leaning more towards some other breeds. Trying to make sure they go good homes (don't care if for table or eggs, just treat them right sorta thing)
They're a month old, not sure if any might be roos, i haven't heard any crows so far. Asking $35 for...
Hi, my name is Daralyn. I'm in College Station, TX. I want to get started raising dual purpose chickens. I also raise Standard and Mini Rex Rabbits. Currently, I am gathering information on building a chicken coop and researching breeds. :) Also looking for other chicken owners in the area to...
So hard to find a true Cayuga duck around here! If anyone has some, I’m interested in anything. Eggs, ducklings, adults! My female is lonely. Although she isn’t pure. I’m in Fort Worth, Texas
Hi I have quite a busy little house. We homeschool our 4 boys, and have a small flock of birds we got last spring (2018). We originally got 7 birds, but 2 were bantam roos that went to a friend's petting zoo. We enjoyed the 5, we until November when we got a new dog. She started out totally ok...
It's been many, many years since I raised any kind of livestock. Purchasing a 7 acre property and will be getting back into it very soon! I'll start off with chickens, ducks and geese and then move on to some larger more exotic birds. :) Looking forward to chatting with y'all and learning...
Just wanted to share this.
We should contact our city representatives and tell them to vote for letting us keep 6 chickens in the city.
Also, may we pray for her and every patient in the world so that he brings them peace in comfort in the mist of their battle.
Hi! I have two beautiful Silkie hens that need a good home. Both are purebred and came from a reputable breeder in Texas. One is white while the other is buff. Born in September 2017. They are happy, spoiled hens that lay eggs very often!
I am a new first time mom and am unable to provide...
Hi there,
It seems that this site/forum is quite helpful and friendly on BYC. I would love to hear some insights on how to start.
- I am in the Spring/Woodlands, Texas. How do I know if the city allows raising chicken in my backyard?
- Where can I go to buy some chicks
- What are few things...
Current eggs available are out of my 2018** pullets: Older hens have stopped for the season.**
Flock is PT/AI clean - NPIP has been sent off and is pending. Accidentally let it lapse.
Fertility is guaranteed. Hatching is not. Once the eggs leave my property it is up to the post office to get...
The 8x10 coop is under construction. We are using Garden Shed plans that my husband modified to add extra windows along the back for ventilation. I just realized that along the solid roosting wall (right hand side when facing porch/entrance), there are windows on each side, north and south, that...

(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
I was raised in the city (Houston) and I have very little experience to chickens. My husband and I moved to Fort Worth this year and wanted to start out a chicken coop business but first thing you need are chickens right? We first...
