Whew! Been a few days since I checked the thread. You all have been busy! Today was the first day I felt really good after the flu. So I cleaned my coop, and boy, did it need it! This week I will be cleaning up the rest of the yard and porch. There's always something to do!

Btw, we are having our roof replaced this spring, any tips from someone who has dealt with that before? We are having several people give us bids. I'm pretty good at seeing through bs thankfully!

Get quotes for both shingles and metal roofing, we love our metal roof but you do hear more rain...make sure quotes include removal and disposal of old shingles. With heavy snow load you don't need the extra weight of the old shingles...in my opinion...

Welcome! Build a bigger coop, you'll need it once you get started. I was going to have 3-4 chickens in my backyard in the burbs, now I have 8 and a turkey poult....
Can you hold them for me for now? I have a bunch here because my Mom used to help me with them, but since she passed I will have to do them all myself and learn how to use her machine.
That sounds awesome! I would recommend silkies and bantam Cochins for variety. They always get the most comments around here.
That is amazing. Always interesting where they decide to lay....
Gorgeous! Congrats!
Do it! Do it!
Welcome! Plenty of people here willing to share information and enable.... Ha!
Wowza! What are you going to do with them all?
That's awesome! My Rhodebar is doing wonderful. She's an excellent layer, although she's a ninja, so fast! She always hops in my neighbor's yard every day to get the leftovers from under his birdfeeder. Thankfully, he doesn't care, and she hops right back over when she's done! :D
Congrats! Now comes the fun!
Welcome!
Welcome to BYC!

The white eggs are all pretty much reserved already lol. A few of the turkey poults too. The rest, I will pick the best of and make a heck of a cream legbar breeding flock :)

See if you can find a number for Amish contractors. We had the roof done to our old house last year and we had quotes for both singles and metal roofing from several different contractors. The Amish were the cheapest and did a great job. They even redid the porch roofs, fixed the back porch, put up new rain spouts and down spouts for cheaper than the other people wanted just to do the main roof.

It seems Welsummers should be the only chipmunk chicks in the list. I got my chicks as 3 day old instead of one day old, so they are not as fluffy as yours. Congratulations! You have very nice breeds of chickens. I like Speckled Sussex too.
