What will you do when your chickens come home to roost ?

Ideal is a great company to deal with. I wish they would expand their breed varieties but what we received from them as always been healthy.

Shut the door to keep the foxes out the henhouse?

The "not sure why" part of the equation happens all to often.

If any of you fellow OBers are in the Northeast tarrant county area, my wife has gone crazy with chickens. We have about 20+ chickens, 25 chicks were raising (3 weeks old), and just finished a project up at school were we did hatching eggs for our first graders class room (40/48 eggs hatched). We have silkies whom my wife is using to hatch some other eggs and they do great. We get about 15 eggs/day. So please if want, chicks, eating eggs, hatching eggs, full grown chickens etc contact me.

ETA: we have noticed a huge difference in the health and heartiness of hatchery quality chicks versus the locally grown higher end chicks. We only do higher end chicks and eggs now due to the noticeable difference. So if you're buying and planning on keeping for a long time, go for higher quality and less (3-6 chickens)

I'd suggest buying hens already laying.

If your close buddy is also your HOA Board president, then you can get away with it. He might require more Blue Bell ice cream as a bribe

Actually, if i remember right, there is a new state law that restricts HOA and what rules they can put in place for this. I think they must beallowed as long as there is a certain distance to a neighbor or something like that.

Yeah. I think it is 25 feet from your neighbors. So no side neighbors or back neighbors help a lot.
