Anyone from Missouri?

Hiya

I and my flock live around the capital. I have moved out of the city and am working on expanding my flock, while also trying to help with the urban farm movement. Chickens are so rewarding and easy to raise, there is no reason that they should be raised in the large unused yards of the city or the fenced areas of the burbs.
Just officially joined BYC today, but I have been a long time reader and user of the info gathered together in the BYC community.

I currently have to old red sex links that were with me in the city. I have recently added a new silver laced wyandotte rooster that my parent received in their last spring straight run. I currently have three chick in the utility room of my house that will be one week old this Sunday as part of a winterizing experiment, which I plan on posting a thread about later.

Glad to see Missouri has a strong presence on BYC. Got to represent the Show me State lol

Thos are fun breeds and solid starter breeds. I currently have two red stars and they still lay despite being very old. Glad you are enjoying your new hobby.

Hi everyone! We are located in NW Missouri, outside of a tiny town called Winston. We are about an hour north of KC and 10 mins north of Cameron. We are just starting up our Ameraucana flock. Right now we have 12 eggs in the incubator, 12 eggs coming the first week of Feb, and 28 chicks (day old) coming the first week of April.

They did just fine in the cold. They had some frostbite when it was bitter cold, but all the rest had it too so nothing special there.
