I completely enjoyed the tips and tricks but you left me wanting for much more space (and chickens!). Integrating them with the 2 olders was not as smooth as yours but i dont have the space for separate yards. For now they sleep together in the coop, but the littles are too afraid to follow the...
Yay! Thanks @Tookie and @Rose the Legbar .... after reading so many posts about all the roo's people have gotten from TS, i was very nervous! Appreciate you!
I got 6 chicks on April 9th from TS who told me three were a few days older (2 isa brown and 1 golden comet) than the new ones just delivered that day (2 Olive Eggers and one RIR). They guaranteed that they were all girls and i went home happy!
Fast forward to them being about 6 weeks old, im...
I have a couple girls that lay all year long, in the northeast, without supplemental lighting! Oh and i am sensitive to eggs so only eat them when made in other things. So we have lots of eggs all the time too!
I love angel food cake. With summer bringing all the berries, and my new stand mixer...

Thanks for the info and pics!
Oh Gosh @Wilsonchick, I just posted this same question this morning....i didnt see yours!
@LaFleche, So they are all interchangeable names for the same bird?! Leave it to Tractor Supply to list them separately!!
Im with you @Snakebiteholloway, im very sus about ingredients that say processed and by-products in my or my dogs food, it never occurred to me to check their feed.
Off topic- i have learned so much about our ultra processed foods from watching a dr on you tube named Chris Van Tulleken. His...
I should preface by saying my 6 chicks came from Tractor Supply about 4 weeks ago. I got 1 RI Red, 2 Olive Eggers, 2 Isa Brown and 1 Golden Comet. For now i will trust that they are all girls as they assured me....! (And i think they are older) Buuuut, im pretty sure i got 3 isa's or 3 comets...
Wow @Snakebiteholloway, i hadnt even considered this. And although i was sure there would be sorghum in the feed, it isnt in there...
