I began raising 6 Rhode Island Reds I purchased as chicks in April of 2016. I have been hooked ever since.
I only have three of the original, two died on excessively hot days, and the third died after taken to the vet, where they determined she had a possible genetic issue causing her to be unable to expel her eggs.
In August I purchased what I thought where two white leghorn hens (thinking at least one is now a Rooster) and three Black sex link chickens. I was given a duck and need to get her friend soon! I am hoping to have a very healthy flock for years to come. I enjoy reading the many posts from this group. I currently have a hen that for the second year in a row is molting in late fall. Very frustrating as the temps are getting down in the lower fifties at night. Last year she was almost totally naked.
