My chickens have coops, pens, yard area -all inside a fence property. But I do allow them to free range during the day. I live with woods around me, so there is no getting away from biosecurity. I have possums, raccoon, foxes, coyotes, deer, boar, hawks, crows, wild birds, cats, ground moles...

Unfortunately, the low shelters to hide can be a problem as well. I just lost one about two weeks ago, cause the hawk was able to trap the chicken under it. My dog was able to scare it off, but it was too late. We are trying out an idea from a fellow chickenholic, she put out extra bird feed...

I think I have overloaded myself. Hahaha Hatching eggs the weekends of 11th (ameracauna), 18th (turkeys), and 25th (rainbow layers), just rescued 4 donkeys, my rescued horse from October 2013 turned out to be pregnant and my hubby got me a cur puppy in March. Plus my daughter is getting...

Some of the smiles are only available with a paid subscription.

Well, just dropped 12 silkies and 12 brahma eggs in. The count down beings.

Done and shared. I would post in several main threads as well!

Wow, how did you get out with only 4 ducks? The ones down here said that there was a new law stating a minimum of 6 ducks (and we can't mix numbers with chicks).

My dark Brahma Rooster (2 years old) didn't crow until almost 4 months old. My light Brahma (1year old) started just before 3 months old. Dark just started crowing one day and the Light barked like a dog for about a week first. But they tend to only crow in the morning or when scared. My...

Love Brahmas. I will say it every time. Mine have a real deep crow, so not as annoying to neighbors.

Oh yes, tomtom is right. They will get new chicks in every week for like 4-6 weeks. Don't remember the Ozark store getting EEs, but they definitely got marans last year.

Just need to see if someone will split the order with you. Do you know what breeds they got in today? Production reds are a hybrid brown egg laying chicken breed.

I want to go by TSC ...note to self, you already have too many chicks and still some in the incubator.

Unfortunately, no Columbian Cochins. But I down in SE Alabama, just north of Dothan.

BTW...I stopped by our ace hardware store this weekend. Found out that they will order chicks for you from Ideal.

If they get silkies in, they are normally mixed in with other bantams. Look for grey skin, feathered legs and 5 foots. And the only way to sex a silkie, is when it either crows or lays an egg.

I drove mine nuts last year, kept waiting for them to get Brahmas in. Of course, the one rare breed they never got.

Not that I need more chicks... Currently... 19 chicks and 20 baby quail. But I am wanting to work on my Brahma and Silkies. So, debating on re-homing my d'Uccles.

I will be stopping by tonight. We may run into each other.

I stopped by today also. Said the same thing...waiting on post office. Told them to call the post office since it was a holiday.
