Hi all!! I'm Shauna and I don't have chickens yet. My friend gave me her old coop and I'm super excited to get started. I have been reading and researching every day. I'm currently in Leesville. I would love any tips y'all have about raising chickens in Louisiana and I hope you'll be patient with my many questions.

welcome #1 tip keep reading & asking questions

Ugh, I am ready for a change. Its been a stressful last week and a half. I am so ready for a change. Maybe the holiday being over and everybody going back to their usual schedule will help. Although I will miss these kids even so.

Does anyone know if there is someone who has good stock of Dark Cornish, or Plymouth Rocks that sells hatching eggs here in Louisiana? Now especially I'm wishing we had been able to go to that poultry show.

Anyone have an idea?

No sir. You trying to get some.

Good to see you on stranger.

IDk maybe, thinking about it. I think It would be just crazzy to have a two and a half foot tall 10 pound chicken. I've been trying to learn what I can about them.

I need to start getting on more often.

Item learned today: Raccoon proof latch, light rain in freezing weather, and frozen finger tips don't make a good match! You should have seen it, my kids were laughing at me trying to get the door open.

Not sure just what was going on with him heck might have been just old age not sure how old he was but now my other 1 is so lonely! I want a female as Scotty is young & a GF will be good for him.

My dear sweet innocent Shauna. So you only want 4 hens? Chicken Math will happen. I live in a subdivision that I found out doesn't even allow chickens after I already had 3, the city ordinance limit. "Oh, I would never have more than 3", I said as I stomped my pretty little foot to prove my point. I'm at 5 and yearning like an addict to add "just one more, an RIR to keep Primrose company," I said as I again stomped my foot for emphasis. Now I talk about selling the house I built 10 years ago as my forever house just so I can have all I want. That is "chicken math" that irresistible urge for more, always more. If your hubby is counting on you only having 4, we have members of this thread that can counsel you on how to manage that and maintain a happy marriage. A lot of times the hubby fall for chicken math too, then you become a farm. Lol
