I just can't believe as much time as this mouthy gal spends inside our home she doesn't leave droppings. I never realized chicken had control over those.

Trust me I don't let chicken into the house they demand access. I am not that stupid of a husband!

None of ours are able to be in the house but that is our choice never gave it a
thought.. I know others that do and that's their choice

Hello, my name is deAnn and I have an addiction.

This time it started with 5 juvie BLRW, one roo, 4 hens. When I went to get feed for them, the feed came with 3 BO pullets and 3 BR pullets. In the quest for my perfect egg color, I bought 3 Golden Cuckoo Marans one roo, 2 hens. Today, because I don't think those Cuckoos are going to lay dark enough I put in an order for 6 straight run BCM due in three weeks. I have an order in for BA's 2 roos, 6 hens, Welsummers 1roo, 4 hens, Easter Eggers 2 roos, 4 hens, due in 6 weeks. So that is total of 35 birds.
Thank goodness most can go on the back porch in brooders since my big coop is still under construction. The little coop is 4 x 8 with a 24x24 run. The big coop will be 16 x 24 with about 1200 sq ft paddock. This weather has to break or I'll be sawing lumber in the kitchen cause this puppy has got to get finished before the little coop bursts.

Hi, I'm mandi, and i have a chicken addiction. I sold a hen and three chicks today......and I'm itching to hit the store right now to get more, lol. I have two new babies coming in a little over a week I'm just not sure I can wait that long for a fix. I have even started raising chicks for others now so I get the fix without violating the restrictions imposed on my own flock size......
