i have been around chickens as long as i remember.
my uncle said that when i was little if they didnt know where i was they would look in the chicken pen. i just moved from dallas tx to peeltown. pop 123. big change. i found this site by using google and typing in chicken forum. it is number1 in google. i have had a lot of questions answered here. this IS the best chicken forum going. i have tried others but i get more responces here. by the way i have 69 chickens and chicks and 2 geese im retired and i play chicken with my chickens all day .they are really tame .i have some you can hold and pet. well thats about all happy chicken farming

I did a Google search for building chicken coops and that's all she wrote. I was hooked....line and sinker.

Still kind of wondering if anybody got here by way of a bumper sticker. Have any newbies seen one of our stickers around town?

Saw it in a Tractor Supply magazine. You know the one they have for free by the front door. I love that magazine. I get the best recipes outta it!

I guess we need to sell more bumper stickers!

It is fun to hear the stories from people that have them on their vehicles. I was talking to eggchel (one of our moderators) and she has them on both sides of her vehicle at eye level. She was at the drive in and the woman asked about it.

hi everyone,

well i won't go to far back. but we (well my husband did) built a play yard for our son. i was expecting a little girl and our son would just wonder off around our 13 acres and he is stubborn, hard headed and has a mind of his own. Well he thinks he does anyways! He is not afraid of anything too much and is alot like his dad. Anyway, he would not stay in this play area and we spent $260 building it and $130 on outside things to put in it to play with (this thing is something like 18ftx25ft). Still would not play in it no longer than 30 minutes if that long sometimes. So he got a little older so he listens better most of the time, lol. We had been talking about chickens and said we would wait till the kids got a little older. So we found a guy that had some for sale that were 5 months old that could be put out in the play area to walk around, etc. And then my husband built a chicken coop in the play area! So we have chickens and a rooster.
They seem to really like there new home and play area! And I found this site in a book about chickens and also online someone was talking about it. We checked it out for awhile before building and buying the chickens and coop.
So there you go that is our story, I made it kind of long, sorry

Found this site using a google for (if I remember correctly) "chicken club" or "chicken forum". I have had chickens for a while already but just wanted a group of similar minded people to talk to. (Boy did I get what I was looking for!)
