No, we don't have TSC on kauai. I think he said chicks came from Ideal hatchery in Texas.

Yes i think he said Ideal hatchery in Texas.

Hi. We live on the island of Kauai. You'd think it wouldn't be that hard to get some baby chicks to raise in our backyard, well I was wrong. It was so difficult to find some non-feral chicks. I was calling and checking everyday this one feed store that kept promising they would arrive soon. The...

2024 now and I've heard the same problems happening. Extra day killing all the chicks. So sad.

Thanks everyone. We have a small back yard so we went with a small kind of chicken coop... Now the chickens have a 16x15 predator safe pen, but they still sleep in the coop. should I put nest boxes in the pen? How big should the nest boxes be and where should I put them? Should the nest box be...

Ok, so I’m still new to this wonderful world of chickens. We got our first one (who turned out to be a rooster) and fell in love with the idea of possibly having fresh eggs from our back yard. Turns out you need HENS to get fresh eggs. So at the end of May we got twin barred rock pullets, 3...

Well I guess we are still young and maybe with hard work and determination one day I will be able to say how many acres we have...Hard work, save money..got it.

If no one minds me asking, how have you gotten your land? Everyone talks about acre this or several acres that, I would love to own land but I haven’t got the simplest clue on how I could afford any at all? Any suggestions?
