Chickens in New Hampshire

[Slickheadhunter]

Hello,
I’m from New Hampshire and new to raising chickens, and as such I’ll need a lot of information to have happy healthy chickens.

Hi, if you haven't already done so, check out the Learning Center (it's under the Articles tab)...you'll find a lot of good info there.

Thanks for joining us!

Planning,
the coop and run on order and chicks will be delivered at the end of June.

Hello, and welcome! What breed do you have?

We ordered late and ended up getting 10 Black stars, I would have liked to get some Rhode Island reds but none available for that time frame.

Yes, I heard that people have been having trouble getting order's filled, or even the breed's that they want. I'm already hatching from my own flock, so I don't have to worry about getting more chick's that I want.

Congrats on planning first, THEN getting chicks! Not everyone does it the right way (Okay, I MAY have once or twice gotten irresistible chicks BEFORE a new coop was available.)

The local feed store here has been having some issues with the number and breeds of chicks they can get. I don't know anything about Black Stars, but in my experience, chickens -- regardless of breed -- tend to be incredible creatures who produce eggs and endless entertainment.

Best wishes with your new venture, and welcome to BYC! Folks here will be happy to help you in any way we can!
