Hello Chicken community and fellow bird lovers!!!!
I am SO over the moon excited to find a community with awesome pics of coops, information and other people who raise chickens.
I've wanted chickens since we moved here, 9yrs ago, and each year I said this is THE year and each year something came up and I was disappointed. BUT, this year I decided that no matter what I WAS getting my chickens.
My plans for chickens this year (2014) weren't looking good, AGAIN!
Well, we just happened into a local feed store for some other farm supplies and lo' and behold I hear peeping!!
I HAD to go look, didn't I? Hubby ventured off to find something (his first mistake) and by the time he came back I was chatting it up with this lovely young girl as she was taking the bands out of my new chicks wings
Yes, his first mistake was walking away and his second was walking away while I had my checkbook with me LOL
I bought 10 Golden Sex links and 5 Black Sex links!! I came home and that afternoon I ordered more from a hatchery out of Iowa!
They should arrive April 22nd and by they I mean:
10 Buff Rocks, 9 Light Brahmas, 3 Partridge Rock, 1 Buff Rock rooster, 1 Partridge Rock rooster, and a free exotic chick!
Guess what we did this weekend??? Re-roofed my coop and finished the ramp and roosts This Thursday the carport arrives and it will be framed in and attached to the coop (8'x12') to make a predator proof run that is 12'x21' for a total of 348 square feet of space, not including the free range space they'll have access to!
I will post pics later ....
