Myvsisters intruduced me to chickens. One sister gave me 2 roosters when they were moving out of state. They were best friends for several years. Then then other sister gave me some hens. We were hooked. They were so much fun to watch. And then dogs happened. New dog got in the pin and killed them all. Now we are trying again, starting with babies. Using some really nice rabbit hutches my daughter built. They are temporary. We need to build a rather large coop
We have fenced in a yard with electric fence around it. The dog has learned about the fence and stays away. We have put out snake repellant and it seems to be working. Except we trapped one that was under the house. But finally got it out.
We have a few of several varieties. We got started by rescuing some Cornish cross chicks from an overturned truck. We were told they were meat chickens. That's all. We brought home 15. We didn't kill them when we found out that they were intended to becslaughtedvatv20 to 14 weeks. They are huge now. Some weight over13 pounds. We have 4 silliest, amarecanas, buff orphingtons, Sussex, easter eggers and a few bantam
