Hello to all: I can't even describe how many times I have came to this site for assistance over the years. Now that I have had chickens for about 10 years and have suffered the follies of many different aspects, I came to the decision to not only join for more info, but maybe to share some of our lessons learned. We live in an area where there are a host of predators to deal with and we have, MAYBE, finally proofed the chickens. I also hatch not only chickens, but quail and pheasant as well. We have had the quail and pheasant for about a year and I believe we have done well, but need more experience. This past spring, I suppose I got about 200 quail eggs and 75 or so pheasant. I did not hatch them though, we ate them. We get about 3 dozen eggs a day, so we are respectfully small, but always have something to eat. In addition to the birds, we also raise meat rabbits. Thank you for having me as I am just wanting to make things bigger without overloading myself or the property.

Hi and a warm welcome to BYC - glad that you have joined us. I'm sure the whole community will benefit from your experience, so please make yourself at home and enjoy yourself. Best wishes CT
Fun fending for yourself. I love getting the eggs, and then selling what we don't eat to a very grateful family. Helps with my feed for my chickens.
