Hi, I'm a relatively new chicken owner (had some as a kid, don't remember much) and we got ahold of about 14 buff brahmas(unsexed chicks so that will be fun). We've got them for eggs and meat, but will likely have fun with the chickens until the time comes. The wife and I have about 8.5 acres of...
My wife (Callie) and I (Hunter) bought our first flock of day-old chicks in early 2021, a few months after getting married. I grew up raising chickens from pullets, but raising from day-olds was new to me. Raising chickens in general was new to Callie, so it has been a fun adventure for both...

Hello!
My name is Emma and I’ve been keeping chickens for about 6 years now. I used to rescue chickens, but now I mostly just buy feed store chicks to raise because I haven’t come across a rescue in need of a home in a while. Right now I have four beautiful girls: a Delaware named Fiona, an...
Hi poultry people! Are there any other Rick Riordan fans on this page?
I hope this can be a nice little chat group for people who like Rick Riordan books (the mythology ones) and poultry!

Hi all,
I have just joined this amazing helpful community, after having so many questions as a noob chicken owner, for example, is my Erina actually and Eric? What the heck is that in the poop? And, Can I introduce my dogs to my chickens? If so how?

(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
When I was a kid we had chickens as pets and for eggs. We had one big flock and added to it as we came by chickens. We had many different breeds and made our own incubator and hatched our own chicks. At one point I'm pretty sure we...

Five years ago, I was celebrating my birthday with my family, and my little sister had to be picked up from school. She was in her gardening class, and I went in to pick her up. When I walked into the garden, the first thing that...
We are homesteading in MO and entering year 3; we are in the later stages of building a house. Thank you for the addition. I am the sort of city boy and she grew up on the farm. If you think of Green Acres, I am like Lisa and she is like Oliver. :) We are starting chickens and ducks (no...
Greetings, My name is Imani and I am a widow of a veteran and home schooling mother of 6. Our family began this poultry journey a few years ago as our eldest daughter's affinity for animals blossomed. Shortly after moving into our one acre of urban bliss, our community gifted her a coop and a...
