HI! Thank you for the warm welcome!! I am looking for some easter eggers, Rhode island reds other than those two. I am not going to be picky, there are so many beautiful birds I just love them all. A nice temperament would be a plus. We have completed out coop this weekend, needs only to be grounded for the electric fencing. We got pushed out because the rain got to heavy. I would prefer a lil older, dont have to be laying yet. But old and big enough not to need a heat lamp. I am not set up for that as of yet. But I am excited to learn more. I have looked in many places online and cant find anything but baby chick or hatching eggs, which sound adorable and fun, just not what suites us at this time. I am in Dekalb County, i am not sure how far Tuscaloosa but I am wiling to travel some, are you ever put near this way? maybe if you are we can meet half way?? I would like to start with 6-9 chickens
thanks for reading and your help!!
I have very sad newsduring the storm last night my ducks decided to go swimming. This morning I found all three of them drowned.

I agree, don't get anything that you are not happy with. Also, don't get more of one kind than you really want. It is hard to leave them behind but having a plan, and sticking to it, will be better in the long run.
Hopefully the little ones will be able to fight it off and get well. Enjoy your birds Tomtom.
I do not take my birds to sales or go to swaps. And I have become very picky about who or where I get my birds from. I did buy some roosters once and kept them in quarantine till I sold them. And now that I have new chicks I am building new pens for them. So my hens will get to keep their coop that was built for them.

hi harvest family. Glad u found us and welcome. I havnt heard of hatcheries around huntsville. From what ive read its better to buy from a trusted person. Wisher1000 is about 2 hours away from u. She has a great reputation for having great chicks and hatching eggs. She usually checks in here every day. She has quite a few for sale now. There is another person in ur area looking for chicks too. Maybe yall could carpool or something.I'd also like to know of any hatcheries around Huntsville area.
I'm new to chickens. I bought 6 at the local Tractor supply (idk if that was smart lol) we ended up with 4 hens and 2 roosters.
I'd like to add more but not sure how or when to introduce chicks? The ones I have are almost 3 months old. Can someone tell me the best way to add to the flock?
I've always avoided swaps and auctions.. seems it mattered none
I got vetRx in the mail today and Worminator.. we put drops of both in the adults throat. Don't think it's gapeworm, but it can't hurt. The babies are too young for the Worminator, did give them some vetRX in their water. I think they'll be ok.. it's just like a bad cold.
I don't want anyone to suffer. But honestly, it seems like it's just a nuisance and not causing them any real distress.
So sorry to hear that
