Getting Rhode Island Red Chickens Soon

[ATP]

Hello! Welcome to BYC! We're so glad to have you.

Thank you. Loving your verse, too

Welcome. My experience with RIR's and barred rocks is that if the flock is homogeneous, they get along really well.

Thank you for the welcome. I also appreciate you sharing your experience with RIR's and barred rocks. As for now we decided to keep only (that) one kind, namely the Rhode Island Reds. Hubby and I do have different opinions on the number, though . I would love to get 5, but hubby says we will start with 3. He has, however, raised the number by one. So, we agreed to get 4 for a start.

2 Timothy 1:7 is a beautiful verse

Thank you.

I love your signature, too. Reading it was like an extended version (a reminder of) the preacher's words this morning. Lovely.

Hello Everyone,

I'm not going to start a new thread, but I do have an update about our situation.

Hubby and I were planning to get the chicken coop built and finished by the coming week, and we were going to get our Rhode Island Reds on the 14th of March.

Since we are "only" renting this cottage, though, we had to ask the landlord for permission first. He has never come back to us with an answer, so it looks like he does not want us to get the chickens. We don't blame him, because he had quite some challenging tenants before us. They had been using the conservatory as a waste collection place, and rats were attracted and all over the place – in the garden and inside the house

We will give it more time for him to get to know us better, and then ask him again about the chickens.

In the meantime, I'll hang around and keep on reading and educating myself (and hubby) about BackYard Chickens.

Thank you, again, everyone – for the lovely welcome and the replies.

Good luck! I hope you will be able to have a flock in the future.

The time just isn't right yet. One day it will be and you will surely enjoy chicken keeping!
