"Louisiana "La-yers" Peeps"

[Country3883]

I can't image only 3... I don't have any yet, but 3! I would have to petition.

Yeah I'm going to have more after my bigger coop is finished and I can fence it off to keep my chickens safe and my neighbors happy

A lower section in my run actually had about 1" of standing water yesterday but my ladies are doing fine. Playing and out and about today so they aren't too worried about the rain!

I feel like for me, 7-8 would be ideal. Any more than that and it's just waaay too many eggs, even if I'd give them away. I love their interactions and having a few more would shake it up a little bit. Plus I only have the two types. I'd love to add some variety to my flock. Some Amaricanas or EEs. A Buff Orphington to me is just one of the most classic looks and I'd love one.

My fiance got scared when I started looking at property outside the city limits so I could get more. haha

Haha! I love it! I find myself doing the same thing! My husband is totally cool with it and my kids already have their horses named. Some of us are just meant for wide open spaces.

I'm on the Eastern side of central Louisiana so we've been spared most of the bad stuff. We had spurts of rain and some moderately strong wind off and on but nothing constant or concerning. Praise the Lord!

Hi! I'm new to BYC and a new chicken mama. I live in Sulphur (SWLA). Our flock started out with 4 Silkies(Roo Paul and the Dixie chicks), polish (Harry Pooter) and a frizzled bantam cochin (Henrietta). They are roughly 11 weeks old. Then we added the mystery chickens. 2 were sold as Wyandottes but pretty sure they are not. Gold mystery (Goldie Hen), Gray mystery (Petunia), mystery frizzle (Chicki Minaj) and they are 7 weeks old. And last but not least we inherited 3 full grown chickens from a friend who just passed. So now we have what i think are 2 RIR (Ginger and Penny) and a white Leghorn (Mother Clucker). I also have 2 basset hounds who love to chicken watch with me!

Welcome to jwyles and fluffybutts. Hope everyone made it thru Cindy ok. For us, it was just an excuse to clean up all the stuff laying out in the yard. We had more rain and wind a couple weeks ago.
