I'm writing you today form Tishomingo, Oklahoma, a small town in the Southern part of the Sooner state. Oddly enough, chickens are not allowed here, I'll see about getting the exact ordinance for you latter. Several of us are working to gather signatures for a petition to allow small stock, especially chickens, back into our community. There has been some rumor of fringe elements sneaking contraband chickens, rabbits and even goat into city limits. We hope our pleas to the city council are heard before cattle are smuggled in. Matthew L. Cravatt 

 Just got 4 Barred and 4Wyndot chicks and they are so cute!  They are now 7 days old and the wyandots are getting fiesty!!!  Can we feed treats at this age and what are the best things to feed as treats?

Hey from the Metro East area of Illinois.  I'm new to chicken keeping and am eager to learn.  Looks like a lot of good information here.

Hello Everyone!!

  You can call me "Big Daddy Kahuna"!!

I built my chicken tractor last Spring but a large devastating

"INLAND HURRICANE" hit our area of Southern Illinois  last May 8th,2010!!

So needless to  storm damage clean-up was the agenda almost allSummer so I didn't get my chickens.  I am getting 3 young layers in a week or two.

Take Care!!

Yo.

I am the Fryer Abbot at the St. Gallus Convent at Ravenswood.  Ravenswood is a garden plot in the residential neighborhood of Richmond, in Southeast Portland (SEPDX), Oregon.

 I have six hens:  Emma the Red, my RIR and Mutha Souperior; Sugar, my damaged Gingernut Ranger, and former henchhen; Gladys, a black RockStar and rising power in the Convent status; Tina, another black RockStar; Golda, a Gold Laced Wyandotte (and pretty pullet); and Ingrid, the buff EE, the most debased of the Sisters of the Byrd.  read more »

Hello to you all! My husband and I decided we're finally gonna go for it and do the backyard chicken thing. We bought a PERFECT coop on craigslist last night for $20! It needs some minor repairs, but the price was definitely right! I feel like I still need to learn a little bit more about chickens before we buy our chicks, so I'm here to learn as much as I can.

I need help!

I have two nine-month old hens. Recently, our three four-month old chickens met the bigs and moved into the same coop (different addition). We let them all run around the yard during the day. At night the older girls put themselves to bed in the coop, but the young ones huddle in a corner by the house. Is there a way we can teach them to go in the coop?
