Chicks in the City

happycthulhu, It looks like you have a nice spot to build a small coop and run for 1/2 dozen chickens. I live in Pulaski County, just outside the LR city limits and have raised chickens for a couple years now. Pretty soon, TSC in NLR should have baby chicks for sale. You will be able to buy 5 or 6 pullets and not have to worry about roosters. Another good place is Farmer's Supply over on Stagecoach road in LR. Their chicks come from Ideal Poultry in Texas and I've bought from them before. Feed only costs around $8 for 50# and straw is about $3 or $4 a bale. Lots less than Velvet pays in LA. I'm certain you and your wife will find raising chickens enjoyable and you'll have plenty of eggs. For large brown eggs I'd suggest getting two of each - Buff Orps, Black Austrolarps and Light Brahma. That would give you a nice mixture of colors in the yard. If you have any specific questions about where to buy feed and such, just drop me an email. I'd be glad to help. One more thing, I'd put the nest boxes in the coop with a door at ground level rather than in the shed. I'm not sure the window access idea would work.

My goodness do I have chicks!

Maggie, I can only imagine how adorable a broody hen is w/her chicks! I have wanted a roo from the beginning of this quest but my quiet neighborhood had been scaring me off. I have been sending eggs over to each abutting neighbor periodically in hopes they might cut me a little slack (they have no idea what I've got going inside right now!). It's really the night time crowing I'm the most concerned about. They're city people that were utterly shocked to learn we had chickens, they thought we were nuts so I really don't want to address the roo idea head on, if I had with the chickens they never would have been open to that idea (not that I needed their approval, they are legal, I just want to be a good neighbor). My plan is to pick an Americauna, Marans or Welsummer roo of the bunch. The funny thing is I've got a goose egg and a bunch of duck eggs in the bator from a friend and someone said "don't worry about the roo's, the ducks will drown out any crowing, LOL!". I have a lot to learn but I find this experience so much fun and very interesting to share with others. I teach art classes and have 20 students and their parents coming to my home every week. The kids are so excited after class to see the chicks, last week many were able to see them hatching, and the parents loved it too. :) -Sheila

I have extra chicks!

Here's what I would not get. I would not get Boff Orphingtons, Cochins or any other breed that is heavily feathered and "cold hardy". The breeds that are developed in the mediterrean and Asian countries and game breeds are much more tolerant of heat. I love the Old English game Banties but of course, they lay itty, bitty tiny eggs. Great pets, though. For egg layers, the naked necks are very heat tolerant. I actually kind of wish I'd gotten them again, as they are a great, dual purpose chicken and lay a huge brown egg. I used to have them when I lived in Southern OK. The white faced black Spanish, Americauna, any of the leghorns. A lot of the heritage breeds from warmer parts of the world. Some of the lighter breeds are flightier but with good handling will be fine. Although, the Egytian Fayoumis chicks that I have may prove me wrong. They are almost like raising a wild bird, like pheasant or partridge. But, I've heard they are probably the wildest breed there is. I'd suggest going to Backyard Chickens Forum and browsing through the breed index, there is a ton of information on every breed you can imagine.

Our new chickens
Q
Comments (10)
PJ~ Yes, Ophillia has fluffy feet. Actually, only the outside toe has feathers on it. My daughter said we should have named her "Bell Bottoms". She does think that she is the boss even though she is the smallest! fliptx~ Our dog's pen shares a fence with the chicken yard. He does get to barking at the babies when they get active and chirpy. He could care less about our old hens. I guess they don't do anything exciting! Sally2~ I don't think that it takes much room. We converted the bottom of our kid's tree fort. Then, we attached a chicken yard for them to peck around in. They do destroy all of my seedlings if they get out. Plus, they throw all of the mulch out of the beds! Here is a picture of their set-up: In the picture, you will notice that my DH build what looks like a screen door turned on its side. This is to seperate the old hens from the babies. The old Black hen is pecking the brown leghorn and making her bottom bleed. Jacquelyn~ My old hens pace back and forth when they see me weeding. They know that I will be bringing a grub worm to them!

One year, I was told I had to lay off wearing my contacts for a while and at that time my sunglasses didn't have bifocals.
I had a few varieties of thyme in the herb bed, I'd be out there watering the herbs and thinking man, that thyme is doing great, spreading and mounding so pretty.

Well after getting new sunglasses, did I feel stupid, I had chickweed all over my herb bed, lol

My DS still hasn't let me live that down, lol
