Hello and welcome to BYC! I am a neighbor, 35 miles west of Columbia, via 378. I however, am new to this chicken raising life, and merely 8 weeks + in to raising some gamecocks, caught wild up in Greenwood.

Hi, neighbor!

My husband and I started off with two game hens last summer, but we lost one of them to the heat a couple of weeks ago (despite our best efforts with ice water, fans, and electrolytes). That's why we are now looking for a couple of new chickens to keep our girl Connie company. Unfortunately, we have to keep our flock very small since the city of Columbia limits you to 4 hens!

Hello again ivymay! We have gamecocks...we think. They are still young..not all feathered out and all yet. And, as for me..I have no idea on this thing...learning as I go along.

I had some laying hens for sale awhile back but sold a bunch. I was going to sell a few more but now no one is laying and I'm not sure what I have. If I decide to sell some, I'll let you know. I'm not to far from you either... in Greenwood.

I have two black Amerauacana little boys available. I think I don't need either. They have a lot of filling out to do. Just now coming into their rooster looks. You can see the daddy, Thor, at my website www.huckfarm.com.
