Close to you...Barnhart

 

[donsgirl67]

Nice to know. Are you new to chickens? Id love to have someone close to learn from.

 

[cdonze43]

I am new. Mine are 9 wks old. What kind you looking for? I have 1 EE, 3 barred rocks, 2 cinnamon queens, and 2 Ameraucana's (1 is a rooster).

 

[donsgirl67]

Well, I'm still studying the breeds but right now I'm leaning toward Barred Rock and Black Sex Link. Haven't really gotten too far into that part yet. I have to get the coop done so I can get them in the Spring. I feel like I have so many questions that I'll probably be run off the forum though.

Well I searched all the coops on here to get mine. I read this book at the library "Storey's Guide to Raising Chickens by Gail Damerow". Then figured out what chickens I wanted. Wanted the color eggs for my little girl. Wants to be able to be gone all weekend without needing someone to feed them. Best think I did was purchase Poultry nipples for water...my chicks use it all the time now.
Good luck, if you have a question, just ask, I'm no expert, but I'll help if I can. You should also join the Missouri group on here.

Thank you. I didn't know there was a Missouri specific group on here. I'll definitely look for it. Thanks!!!
