Hello enthusiasts.
I am a small flock owner situated in Denmark.

Hopefully I will graduate as a mechatronics engineer 16-1-2015, so VERY soon!
And with my background I will probably at one point be building some nerdy stuff, i.e. hatcher, plucker, automatic trap door etc.

the reason why I bought some chicks in the first place was an attempt to eat healthier (a lot of eggs) and at the same time give the animals better conditions than those poor ******** living in cages..
And as it turns out, my twin boys and daughter just adores the chicks. Especially my daughter. When I first had a visit from the fox, she was devastated...

Currently we are having 1 cockerel and 6 ladies, of Silvergrey Sussex. I am still waiting for them to start laying.
Since we live in a city I hope our neighbours will let os keep the cockerel when he starts crowing. My daughter would love some homemade chickens.
And in the spring I want to extend my coop and get some Brahma eggs/chickens for my kids as pets (since me and my sons have fur allergy).


Cheers, and goodmorning :)

I love that.. "homemade chickens". I found sharing some fresh eggs goes a long way to keeping neighbours happy about having a flock next door

Enjoy the site!
 
Thanks for the advice shumi.
I have actually already be considering the same. If my neighbours start complaining I will offer them some eggs ince in a while, plus evt. a cheap chicken for their deep freezer. Plus perhaps some fertilizer they can use for their roses/what else flowers they have (yes, we have some quite old neighbours with quite som pretty flower gardens).
 
Welcome to BYC!

It's great the kids are taking an interest in chickens and all of you are enjoying them. Nice to have you join us!
 
Thanks a lot.
Yeah, my idea is to learn the kids where (chicken) meat and eggs come from.
Hopefully it will make them more aware of the world we live in, and how we all have a responsibility for it.
/*Hippie mode off*/

And of course for the fun of it!
 
Hello there and welcome to BYC!

There is such a thing called a "no crow rooster collar". It is a cloth type thing with velcro that is put on the rooster's neck and helps to reduce the volume of the crow. It doesn't hurt the rooster and it doesn't stop the crow. Just makes it quieter. But yes, handing out eggs to the neighbors can also help to make the rooster seem more quiet. LOL

Enjoy this new journey you are on and welcome to our flock!
 
Hello :)
I have actually heard of this.
I don't know, it sounds cruel to me somehow, that he is not able to crow?
 
Welcome to BYC from another (relatively) newbie! So fun to see people's passion for poultry keeping all over the world on this one site!
