INDIANA BYC'ers HERE!

I know someone out there needs a couple black cochin bantam hens. They are right around six months old.

They either just started laying or will anyday now. I'm getting some new little bantam eggs that are from these two or their sisters.

Let me know, I might even be able to be convinced to trade these for something else!!

too bad they aren't LF. I'm looking to get a few in April.

Just moved all the chicks outside into a huge brooder!! Well not all of them

I got a few more zipping right along!!!!

Wow! That's a lot of chickens and a lot of variety. It will be a gorgeous flock. Where are you getting your Javas from?

The Java, Giants, White & Partridge Wyandotte, Brahma, Australorp, Ameraucana, and Partridge Cochin are coming from Urch/Turnlund. They are actually hatching eggs, that Brad has graciously agreed to hatch for me.
Duane Urch from what I have read is who supplies Stromberg's with their show quality chicks. I can post a copy of his price/breed list if anyone is interested and I won't get in trouble for it. I believe they put it in the Poultry Press every year.

Well we got three chicks out, and I believe the rest of the eggs have peeped!
I finally caught a complete hatch on vid!!
But my phone won't let me upload it. so far this hatch is doing great

18'6" x 19' yard for up to 6 Silkies, Is that going to be enough room with a 49" t x 36" w x 42" L house ?


the front can be removed in good weather. the back is where we will put outside nesting box, the whole house will be raised 2' and 1 window on the east side and 1 on the west side. o and of course painted. everything was recycled. All suggestions welcome and please if you see a problem let me know. The fence is Small whole wielded wire 4' h. with a 1 x 6 across the top, the front view you can see the 1 x 6. This will be the permanent pen when my ground is safe again.

Hello from Tipton county.

Welcome


I know Brad works at lowes, but do we have anyone else on here that works at a place that sells things we can use for chickens?
It would be great to know of sales and such. Currently I'm looking for fence posts, gate hinges, gate latches, hardware cloth, and of course always chicken feed deals.

to the woman that talked to my DH in RK about a chicken feeder... he gave you the wrong name it's not MisFit Farm, its me, if you pm me I can send you pic's of the feeder, and I also think it's in the coops section under feeders and waters.

Hello from Tipton county.

Welcome. Do you currently have chickens? If so what breeds do you raise?

I got my first egg from my Aker line White Plymouth Rock today. She may have been laying before I got her, I didn't ask. I was smashed though, I am going to venture to guess she smashed it with her huge feet lol
