Way to get my hopes up! bigkid - 23-2-2013 at 01:20 AM
much like the, "I have a headache" statement. way to go, and I thought you were one of the good guys.:P
I agree with csa_deadon bourgeois.jason - 23-2-2013 at 02:26 AM
That's funny. Are you raising them for meat, eggs, or pets? I ordered 25 chickens a few years ago. They arrive from USPS within 72 hours of being
hatched. I raised them, butchered them, and ate them. They were great. I then bought a few for egg laying. Since my backyard was pretty small, I
sold them when my daughter started walking. I didn't want her playing in chicken poo. I plan to get some more in my next house when I get a bigger
yard.
All of this was done in Houston, where city ordinances and HOA rules did not allow me to have chickens, but none of the neighbors ever complained.
I guess the other question is why do you have a miniature buggy?dirtslide - 23-2-2013 at 09:35 AM
thats a full size buggy ...... for them. We have a coup and a run in our massive back yard .We will be keeping them as laying hens unless they turn
out to be roosters ,here we can have hens but no roosters.bourgeois.jason - 23-2-2013 at 09:47 AM
So, is your chicken run big enough for them to safely fly power kites and ride buggies? I can't understand how they would hold kite handles. :dunno:rocfighter - 23-2-2013 at 09:59 AM
I'm sure there is a harness adapter for a bar that works with there beaks.:Ange09:
My mom has well over a hundred laying hens on a semi free range farm (there in a closed area about 1/2 acre but roam free in that space) but she
gave up teaching them to fly kites. There not to smart you know.:dunno: She also has roosters and hatches her own eggs. (ok there not HER eggs) I
felt I had to explain that for some folks with wonderfully sarcastic wits!! Nothing beats a fresh egg omelet.cheezycheese - 23-2-2013 at 10:49 AM

I'm in the middle of building a chicken tractor right now, haven't had time to finish it. I plan to have 5 or 6 laying hens and no roosters. I could
have a rooster but I have decided not to for now. I have 5 acres of land and 4 acre of it are pasture that is full of bugs so they'll eat good. I also
plan to start a black soldier fly colony for them. Can't wait to have my own eggs!
