OMG, when I first read this, I thought, NO WAY 27 Adult CHICKENS, this person must be going CRAZY... Now that I see it's baby chicks, WHEW what a relief. LOL... Very nice SET UP.. I love it...

So many Activities

LOL! Although it's scary -- that picture is two weeks old. Now, at six weeks of age, they are really crowding that grow-out cage! Luckily there should be a horse stall coming open this weekend out in the barn, so they can move outside And then I can start the process all over again!

Oh, and on the going crazy -- I plead the fifth

How do I add a siggie?? I can't seem to find the option in the profile page... is it elsewhere and I just don't see it?

Too me forever to find it too, 12lilfeet! See babymakes6's answer

Y'all know you can raise chicks this time of year in a garage or barn and they won't die? I raised 100 or so last year through the winter. They love the heat lamp for about 4 weeks or so and then their God given coat protects them.

I know The problem is, I'm all out of coop room till this weekend! Otherwise they would've been outside weeks ago.

Hi guys! Wanted to do two things here: First, I am looking for a sweet hen that will get HUGE, or already is. Orpington (nice cause it looks big) or Jersey Giant, or ??? I am in NE Ohio in North Ridgeville, west side of Cleveland. I will be travelling to the Ohio Nationals Saturday, so I will be headed down to Columbus.

Second thing - The Ohio Nationals is this weekend! If you have a chance, head to the Ohio State Fair grounds...its great fun to see all the different breeds. There are usually quite a few birds available for sale if you get there early enough as well.

Please let me know via message - this thread grows so fast I have trouble finding responses.

Hope everyone weathered the storm ok - my coop was built on 18" stilts, and thank goodness, as the water came right up to the bottom....looked as though I built a coop in the middle of a pond!

Welcome Avianman!! I'm not going to be able to help you out with a big girl since I have silkies and showgirls...but I wanted to welcome you aboard! I know at least a few of us will be heading to C-bus this weekend. I will be there Friday night and all day Saturday. It would be great for us Buckeyes to meet up somewhere...

There will be a couple of us there, Avianman, in red American Buckeye Club t-shirts. I'll be the one in the battered fedora. Not to hard to spot. If you see me, give me a shout-out.

Is there a ticket fee for the Ohio National show?
