Hello from the shores of Lake Simcoe!

Hello Everyone!

I'm a new member, although I've scoured the boards and gotten a ton of great, helpful information. I've raised two different flocks of Broilers (White Rock Cornish X) with some fantastic results. This year I had ordered and kept 3 pullets ( known as "The Girlz", and yesterday, very sadly,lost all three overnight to a predator. I'm pretty sure it was a raccoon. Already missing the girls, who were getting just beautiful at 3 and half months old. The henhouse was latched, but we underestimated the determination and dexterity of the raccoon I think!

Looking forward to some new cluck clucks becoming our back yard flock at some point in the future.

Just wanted to say hello!

from Middle Tennessee, I know how you feel. First 5 chics I ever had all died cause of a storm made us lose power and they didn't survive without their heat lamp. I hope you get some new chics soon and people are always selling eggs, chics, roosters, and hens in the buy,sell,trade section. Check them out and you might find someone near your area!
