I hope you can get some replacement chicks soon,.
with all these newbies getting chickens, I have a hunch that in early winter there will be a glut of chickens for sale when they find out that chickens in the winter is not so much fun.
might be a good time to pick up some 1st year pullets.
we didn't have any issues with the snow and ice.,
but near Antigo there were electric poles snapped off. lots of people out of power even after 5 days,.,

Getting spoiled the last few weeks in California. Nice to visit on someone else’s dime if you can pull it off.

Trying to get chicks, and completely unsuccessful at the moment. Need to start replacing the aging flock who are now 6.

My neighbor hatches chicks if you are interested? She goes to swaps and sells on FB. If you want her information let me know.

We are located 30ish miles west of Wausau, and a touch north of 29.

How do you like that new giant KT that got built?

I was at a wedding in that area last summer. A co worker got married at the bride aunts house. Otter Falls Trail road

Hope everyone is enjoying FFF.
The hens are out and about today having a blast.
They are in no hurry to head back into the coop.
Three Tom turkeys are giving them the evil eye,
wondering who they are.
Just a tad better with the melting going on. I'm
anxious to get some work in the woods done.
Enjoy the weekend, it looks like a decent one
without snow!

Stay Safe ... bigz

Bigzio, you've been on byc for 18 years? I didn't even know byc was around for that long! It's basically an adult now!

FarmFleet had a few chickens left, not much variety. Did not get any. Was looking for maybe getting sex links maybe or austrolorps. plenty time left.Always the backup plan and hatch some.
Ordered sweet corn seed.

Yep Amer, back 18 years ago there was a handful of poultry
fanciers that joined Rob when he started BYC backing his new
venture by posting often and welcoming newbies with open
arms. He has grown this site into something quite special!
I'm sure he is proud of what it's become.

Stay safe ... bigz

Brent, I hope you enjoy your time in the woods,.
I had a pine tree in the wind break. break off,.
it fell across the driveway to back where I park Ollie,. I am waiting for it do dry up on the ground before I saw it up. it will go onto the burn pile.
I was thinking about newbies with first time chickens, I am thinking that this fall/winter there will be a lot of chickens for sale once they realize that it is no fun having chickens in the cold months
that might be a good time to cushion your laying flock,
the sun was out until just now. I hope it comes back out.
33F at 8AM
they are talking snow . hope they are wrong.

Anyone here know, have rough idea her how many pounds feed into 6 week old cornish cross. I am also posting on meat bird section. Thinking maybe get come meat birds. Been weaning the freezers down. 1 empty the other working down. Not trying to make a political statment nor trying to start arguement, everything shifting about so much in the governemnt maybe be good idea grow a few birds, better to be prepared than a day late and dollar short. I just trying to put a estimate together see if I want grow a few for harvest.
