calling any one from missouri

[maidenwolfx80]

Ok MO people I have some birds that need homes, I will take offers if anyone is interested. I have a 2 month old EE roo and a few 4 week old OEGB. I will also have some mixed chicks out of the incubator in a few weeks

 

[what's kickin' chicken]

Hi! I am from outside of Odessa MO. Odessa is about 45 miles east of KC.

We had 27 inches of snow and it is beginning to melt. The weather people say we will hit the 50's this weekend. They also said at one time we would only get 6 inches of snow.

I do not have any chickens yet. Our local feed store is having chick day this Saturday, but not sure my husband is ready for this. No, do not have a coop built either. I do have lots of beekeeping equipment tho!

I am looking at getting layers that handle our winters and summer heat/humidity. I love the Polish birds they are so funny, but everything says you need to be "experienced" to take care of them. Any suggestions?

We had to tear down the chicken coop that was here. It was rotted. The only thing we could save was the wood from the roof. It was a garden shed converted. The floor was rotten, the side plywood was pretty bad and no yard except for the outside door still attached to posts. The door just out in the yard all by itself.

We are not carpenters by any means. My husband is NOT a handyman of any kind. So, I was considering buying a kit, rather than make our own from scratch.

And as always - Go Tigers! (yes I have a child at Mizzou!)

Thanks!
Martha

Hey there I just joined this thread but have been here for abit. I feed my meat birds fermented feed. They get all their nutrients and waste less and grows them to size good. I feed my whole flock FF it also has a lot of vit/min and it has probiotics.

Really enjoying the warmer weather. Got my 4 week old BR outside for the first time. Took them a while to figure out what chickens are supposed to do outside. lol I figure about 2 more weeks and I can try putting them in the coop with the adults.
