I am in Greenville SC and would like to buy some chicks, I am not sure what breed, any type that is hardy and good egg laying. Tomorrow, Sunday, is the only real day I will have to get out and buy some for the next few weeks. I'd like to get them before Christmas. If there is anyone who has any and could sell me some please message me or call. 864-567-3163. Thanks.

Hi SC friends

I was hoping to get some advice from y'all about the floor of my coop. I have a swingset converted into a coop that sits on regular suburban backyard ground. With my first flock, I started with dirt and it was just hard and compacted and got smelly quickly so I ended up putting down pine shavings. This worked well for about a month and I intended to use a deep litter process but the chicks all turned out to be boys and we had to pass them along to a better home. Before I get the coop all cleaned out and ready for a new flock I am wondering if you have experience with sand on the floor? I've heard that it can be cooler for the chickens in our hot SC summers and that it's also easier to clean.

I would love to hear your different opinions and experiences.

A sprinkle of hydrated Lime over the ground is all I'd recommend. It will dissolve the waste and neutralize any odors almost instantly

Anybody here on the west side of Columbia? I am more towards Saluda, out on Hwy 378. Most everyone I see in this thread seems to far away.

Sorry ... I'm such a newb...this should have been with my last post. Don't know how to edit it in after the fact tho.

Are`there any breeders for Barnevelders in South Carolina? Plan to cull some of my flock and would be interested in quality chicks or eggs in spring/summer. Thanks for any info.
