Looks like it is almost time for...

The local feedstores to get in dayold chicks again! I currently have 12 laying hens and the local farm store said she will buy any and all my eggs every two weeks. The girls I have currently arent laying a ton this time of year and with the Feedstores about to get in chicks I thought THERES AN IDEA! I will be getting 6-8 pullet chicks from the local Agway in April. Will probably be getting....

3 Barred Rock
3 Golden Sexlink
2 Leghorns(maybe)

I wont be doing a garden as the area my garden usually is in will now become chicken pen. And at the end of this I should have around 18-20 layers out there.
Will be sure to post plenty of pics when I get the chicks!

Good going Sam! I'm hoping to get a few chickens this spring. I've never had them before, so I'll be asking lots of questions here.

I miss having fresh eggs....I usually buy them from someone local...but this time of year they just aren't laying.....I hope to have my own laying hens in the future!!!! Good luck!!!

All this reading on chickens and rabbits might inspire me to raise some. I raised some pheasents, but never anything else.

If anyone needs any help with any info or questions please feel free to PM me! I have been learning, raising, breeding, and hatching poultry for many years now. And really enjoy doing it!

Not to steal the thread ,but if any body wants chicken come and get them what to get rid of mine.


Sam you will like your Barred rocks and golden sexlinks nice big brown eggs,I had red sexlinks and the eggs would not fit in a x-large egg carton.

No prob Fly! I think Im actually going to get Black Australorps and Golden Sexlinks...as well as the leghorns.
But I will have to wait and see what all they have.
Fly how many you got? And how old?
