Hi! New to raising chickens

[Seaside Fantasy Farm]

My husband and I have six hens. They are still young. We live close to the intracoastal in NC. We have two potbellies, the chickens, a cat, and my husband farms blue crabs. If we bring any more animals home, the neighbors will hate us!

Hello there and welcome to BYC!

So glad you could join our community! Sounds like you have some wonderful critters. How do the Potbellies do? I have considered keeping a couple. Blue Crabs? Wow, sounds interesting! We tried raising Rainbow Trout in a big stock tank many years ago. WOW...they grew WAY too fast and we ended up eating them long before we intended! It was a fun adventure however.

Great to have you aboard and welcome to our roost!

If the neighbors complain about your animals, NO free eggs for them

I wouldn't mind the odd tray of eggs and some crabs, here and there if I was your neighbour

The potbellies are a lot of fun. I wish I could have more, as 95% are unfortunately rehomed - mainly because they don't stay as little as folks expect. Ours are kept outside during the day, and I bring them in at night to sleep.

This is good to know! I think I could live with a standard size pig though. But of course tiny is cuter. Yours sound adorable. Where do they sleep inside?
