Hi OurSweetLabs!

and the SC thread!


Labs? Do I see Labs?

Welcome!!

What breed of chicks do you have and what may you want in the future?

I am close to 300 chickens here and have 18 different breeds at this time.
I live north of Greer.

Labs? Do I see Labs?

We are the proud owners of three black labs, who are not sure of the chicks.​

Love your avatar. But then, I'm sorta partial to my state!

I have a black Lab mix- he's 98% Lab, and 2% something- the 2% depends upon what he's eating or fighting at the moment.

I don't let him near the birds, that 2% is something ferocious.

He was a rescue, so we have no idea who the sire was.

Hi Nadine!

300?

I have enough work with 47!

I hope to sell out some later this year. It has taken me a while to figure out what breeds I wanted to go with and then blast it, I discover another wonderful breed.

Oh well, I have the room, if not the money or the sense to stop.

Just watering them all can take me an hour every morning and evening. We have lots of tractors as well as coops and about 7 brooders running now and are in the process of building 3 more tractors. I take my chickeneering very seriously.

I am in the process of moving the infamous 13 + 3 outside, and an injured roo needs to come in. And of course he needs a friend.

Will my house ever be free of chickens???

Uh-uh, you will never get the smell of chickens out of your house!

It ain't just stuck to your shoes anymore. It is permeating your draperies and carpets.

Oh well, at least one roo isn't as bad as the many others. Good luck on the move. we changed around 3 coops the other night and it took me, my DD and DH almost an hour to carry and rearrange them all. Boy, were they confused when they got up the next morning! And for them to bed down the next night it sounded like a truckload of crickets!

How can the house possibly smell like chickens? It's already overwhelmingly perfumed with Eau de Trois Chien et Trois Chats!

, I think I spelled all that right!

I have actually started changing shoes at the door, but it doesn't help. Smells like a farm. Inside.

Translation: Eau de 3 Dogs and 3 Cats

We have some mutts, Four of them are black sex links. Three are yellow.

We are not sure what we want, we just know we want good layers that aren't very mean as we have a 1 year old son.

I graduated from Greer High School.
