My name is Ed and I am in SE Alabama near a town called Slocomb
I am originally from NYC and am trying to get back to basics. I just started this spring on a mini farm thing. There is about 2 acres that will be used. I have another acre that can be used if need be. I currently have alot of...
I can not actually say that I have heard them yet! I am looking foward to it and already told my dw what to expect. She does not know what she is in for but, like the chickens and ducks she has taken a liking.
The people that I got them from said they sell their feathers 3 for $5 when they fall out. I have enjoyed watching them run around the small coop. I really need to make it bigger for them. It has just been way too hot. I hope that one of the little ones is a female. Now I just need to find some...
I had to go with the expensive direcway to get high speed so that my house could be wireless. It only costa about $60 a month now but the first year and a half was over $100. I can go through most of my yard with the laptop.
My newest layer likes to hide the eggs under the straw. Have you been checking underneath? Just a possability. I hope so for your sake and sanity. LOL!
Very well Written! Only thing that needs to be added and thought about is: We invite everyone on this great forum into our homes through the internet. I wonder whose house or jobsite I'm at now?
Thank you again everyone! I am starting to believe that I should have just fenced in the whole yard. I picked that spot just for the shade of the trees. One of the trees is a peach tree. Does anyone know if they eat ripe peaches? Is it good for ducks? I don't put the ducks with the chickens...
I don't have to call mine at all. I think they know the sound of my truck. They all pile up near the corner of the run. I can hear them acting all crazy behind the house and I park in the front. On my day off I can walk out and not hear anything. When they get out and free range on their own, I...

Welcome to BYC! When I lived in Montgomery, I didnt even think about having chickens. Since you have had them before I'm sure that you are getting anxious to get them again.
I have moved sheds before and the best and cheapest way is with a rollback tow truck. Another option is the trailer rental. In order to push it up on a trailer, you will need about 3 or 4 pieces of large heavy duty PC pipe as wide as the shed. Lift the side of the shed closest to the trailer and...
