I am in the Irmo area of Columbia, Lexington County, and will be glad to have some company in this neck of the woods. Let me know when you move, or if I can help in any way. I have yet to get my first chicken but have a coop and am almost ready to launch with 4 pullets.I will be moving to SC later this year - from OK - and am wondering about what predators I should expect there. I have ducks and chickens. Here we have to deal with bobcats, snapping turtles, coyotes, raccoons, and feral dogs. I'll be in the greater Columbia area (probably Lexington area or near there). What should we expect? Thanks.
I am looking to buy a few laying hens or started pullets from a healthy NPIP certified flock that do not have a history of disease and are not given antibiotics. Sorry to be so picky but I have had a bad experience with getting chickens who had "colds" (now I know that chickens do not get colds) and I had to cull my entire flock
