Good morning! If you're looking for chicks in central Virginia, we (Glendale Farms) will be having a Chick Day on Sunday April 6th. 200 pretty little peeps including sexed pullets as well as farm raised Welsummer and Blue Laced Red Wyandotte. We are at the end of Haw Branch Ln (14006 Haw Branch Ln), Amelia VA and the event will be from 11-3PM.

Bring a sack lunch and a quilt if you want to set under the old Magnolia Trees.

6 week old bantam roos need to be rehomed. I've got 5 to place right now. I'm not 100% on what breed. They look like buff brahma bantams. I've already got 3 boys and can't keep more than that.

I'm located in Amelia, Virginia (ZIP 23002), and I'm looking for Mottled or Porcelain Brahma chickens. If you have any hatching eggs, chicks, or a breeding pair available, please let me know.

Hello! I live in Fairfax County and I am a first-time chicken-raiser. I currently have seven 3-4 week old chicks: 3 Rustic Rocks, 2 Silkies, 1 Delaware, and 1 Rhode Island Red (I say currently because if any turn out to be roosters, I'll have to re-home them). This all started because I signed up my kids for the 4H Embryology program, and my stepdaughter got so into it that I agreed we'd build a coop. Anyone up for sharing what their coop looks like? I am having trouble nailing down a design that works well for our hot humid summers and occasionally cold winters (the week of sub-freezing temps this past January is very much on my mind!).

Mine is a converted wooden playhouse. It started out as my niece's fort, was moved to my house for my children to wear out and became MY playhouse when the kids outgrew it. The biggest cost was the hardware cloth.
Playhouses can generally be found pretty cheaply, sometimes in a "Free-You move it" ad. They're sturdy and easy to convert. If it's one with a sandbox under it, you have an instant run! If yours has a swing set attached, the A frame is easily converted to a large run ... and you can leave the swings intact for the birds!
