What you can tell I photo shopped them a bit?

BTW Google MN is a nice little town located between the mountains and on a glacier with a small stream in it. And!! They have no taxes there.

Hey everyone,

Thank you for all the knowledge I find in this site, as well as this forum in particular, as I live in the Lake Sunapee area. My girlfriend is a Cape girl who moved up here a year ago and opened her business in Holistic Health and she always wanted chickens, so here I am with a built 8x8 coop, 20x8ft run and hopes of free ranging my flock of 4 Americana, 2 easter Eggers, 2 buff orp, 3 columbian wyandotte, 4 NH red, 3 speckled Sussex and 3 barred rock I'm hoping to raise for her to sell the eggs in her store. They're all 10ish weeks old now and survived their trip from Missouri, and a few from Runnings.

I'm new to raising chickens but used this site to figure out everything I needed to know to raise them, so thank you all.

Hi

I'm in Deering.

Glad I finally figured out how to navigate BYC a little better and found the NH thread!

Does anyone on here have Guinea eggs?

Anyone here breed ayam cemanis or swedish black hens? I'm already thinking about next year.

 

[DwayneNLiz]

Thanks. I'll send her a message one of these days. Looks like she's in C VT near the NY line which is doable, but a bit of a haul.

Hello all from Claremont! We have 3 peeps we bought from runnings to satisfy an unbreakable broody 3 weeks ago. Just as was said somewhere on this site - good broody does not equal good ma. She seems to have moved on from them so looking to rehome them as our coop and run isn't big enough for more. 2 nh reds and a black sexlink. We also put 5 eggs under a mean broody and if that goes well they will hatch around July 4. We need to move her at some point into the little coop for her own protection. The other hens don't like her puffiness and tude. She seems to be way more protective and tried to steal the peeps before we gave her eggs so maybe she will mother longer. Fwiw we haven't seen any evidence of bugs and our flock was purchased at west Leb feed and supply last year. We built our coop so nothing lingered from another flock and everyone seems very healthy.

Koop Clean is awesome. I spread it in the run to freshen it up. A break from the rain would be nice though. I'm trying to build a larger 1000sqft run, but all of the 2ft holes I dug for the posts have filled in half with water...impressive for being halfway up a hill 200ft above the river valley. At least I shouldn't have well issues this year. However, it's a pain keeping the run dry. I let them free range, but they bolt to the neighbor's yard for worms since they keep their lawn about 1" high.

Have you tried fermenting this feed? I ferment the girls' soy feed with different strains sometimes to give them a variety of beneficial bacteria. A little B. Subtilis with the soy should give them a vitamin K2 boost too, but I'd prefer to mostly stay away from the corn and soy. I may get a bag to try it anyway. If the fermenting seems off I'll just give them the feed dry.

I didn't think the rain would ever stop, but it's been beautiful lately after the muggy weather left. Wow that's awesome, kudos to you!! . Hopefully the rain water absorbed and you got the post in. My run is small and was soaked from the downpours at the beginning of the week.. I ordered kelp, it should be in on Friday. They didn't have it stocked. It's suppose to be wonderful for them. Expensive, but they don't have a lot, so it should last a while.

I haven't tried fermenting the feed yet, but I do mix in Kiefer in with their feed or kitchen scrapes sometimes. I also have kombucha scobies I'm going to give them, but haven't yet. Kiefer is fermented milk, and kombucha is fermented tea, the scoby is the culture that ferments it.
