Hi fellow New Jersyites! I'm new tovthe forum and learning as much as I can. I'm from Southern Jersey, in Hammonton, 30 minutes from Atlantic City, on the way to Phili. I am planning a traftor coop for this spring. I am pretty excited to see there are people from Jersey on the forum.
I am strongly considering RIR for their laying, friendliness and ability to handle cold. Does that sound like a good breed and do you need to do any special insulating or heating for our average winters?
My wife is looking forward to having chickens since she had them when she was little. My son who is 5 says he just wants a toad.....lol he will love them. Chickens I mean..
My 12wk SLW turned out to be a roo. He's super sweet! Anyone "need" a roo?
I've had no chickens laying for several weeks. Probably have enough feathers to make a pillow. LOL Thanks to the ducks we still have 2 or 3 a day.Had to put the light on in the coop for a few hours in the morning. 16 girls and NO eggs for two weeks, and even before was just one a day. I let them rest all of October since I had a stash of eggs. Thank goodness I haven't been handing them out so much lately. So after about 8 days with a little extra light we got an egg.I really thought I was going to have to buy eggs.
Lol. I thought you were going to say time to prep dinner. I have them around also, but they never come in the yard. Thy only watch from the other side of the fence. Interesting to see if they will roost in your yard now.
