Hi, We have a friend who needed to re-home her hens, so we said yes. She gave us 18 hens a run and a coop, which was far too small. We spent under $300 building this house. We had some recycled 2x4 pine. I'm terrible at making posts but I wanted to show you can build a henhouse for a few hundred...

Hi – I’m Cynthia, a newbie backyard chicken parent. Henny Penny showed up in July 2022 and stayed. We thought we’d like a few hens once we retired, but that little stray accelerated the process. As the name (which stuck) implies, we mistook Henny for a “she” but crowing and beautiful saddle &...

We have 4 Nigerian dwarf kid goats for sale here in SC! The doeling is chamoisee with blue eyes. Buckling 1 is gold with brown eyes. Buckling 2 is buckskin with a black dorsal stripe and brown eyes. Buckling 3 is chamoisee with brown eyes. All four are disbudded and very people-friendly. The...

Just found this forum and am excited to learn more! New to yard birds as of this spring, but already love it. We bought a house on a couple of acres including a pond.. thus it begins lol. I was looking at identifying duck breeds and found this group. We currently have three drakes (2 khaki...

Hi my name is Grace. I just started raising quail and chicken from the incubator and it’s been fun! Just wanted to introduce myself since I’m new here.

Good morning, I saw that the NCDA&CS has recommended to essentially keep poultry quarantined in their coops for 30 days from yesterday. I live in Western Upstate South Carolina so I kept mine up yesterday. They’re already getting stir crazy. How serious is the risk of them contracting it? How...

Currently looking to move to SC but am running into problems with checking city/county ordinances. Does anyone here live in Mauldin or Simpsonville SC? I’m trying to figure out if I’m allowed to have hens? I know Greenville allows up to 8. Any help would be appreciated! Also, if you’re local...

I so badly want this pet to go to a good home. He was bought as a pullet and unfortunately he is not one. We can’t have roosters where we live. He’s very friendly, has been handled a lot (pictured being caught and handled by my 2 year old), has been fed Purina organic starter feed, and has yet...

Have camera - will travel! I'm looking for a nice looking coop or area where your chickens are free ranging and friendly enough to be in photos with me, my husband, and my son. Here is my idea - we want to announce our pregnancy with a picture of us with chickens and we are going to hold up...

To all of those that are dealing with this storm as we are. God bless and we truly hope all is well with your families and animal's. A beautiful sunset before Florence
