Are easter Eggers the same as Americana?
I'm biased, but I think Speckled Sussex hens are the absolute best. Beautiful birds and sweet, charming little personalities! They are the nicest hens I've ever met.
Do y’all use a fodder system for your chickens, or are they just mainly free range.
Kinda random question from a city girl who has never owned chickens… anyone can answer: Does owning chickens really attract rodents or is that just a myth? Do the newer chicken coops do a good job of keeping them out with the hardware cloth and all that or what do you do to keep rodents out?
Could you link the video that you refer to about going through the catalog?
Chickens: The gateway "drug" to farming. LOL
We are just outside the city centre in Sydney (45 minute walk) and just about every 3rd house has a few hens. We’ve been here 13 years and have had 2 lots of ISA browns, but this time we are doing 2 ISA and 2 Australorps. The Australorps (cross btwn Orpington and few other breeds) are the sweetest hens to have around children and are also great layers. Bonus is that they are very well adapted to the Australian heat and cold extremes.
Great video, Thanks.
Nice to see someone from my city of birth. So glad you visited…and were impressed with the rich Iowa soil!
I am a first time chicken owner. I am enjoying the chicks. I got 19 Rhode Island reds, 10 giant black jersey, and 10 freedom rangers. When do dare to let your chickens free range? ( I am working with my labradoodle not to chase and he is doing well) I live in an area where there are coyotes? I also have 6 guinea chicks I got at the same time to help protect.
I am loving this!! Mega chicken nerd here! I spend hours looking at catalogs. 😀
Awesome name – my father's name was Murray. Excellent farmer. Passed in 2009 – 86 yrs old.
Thank you for the tour of Murray McMurray. I look forward to ordering new chicks next year.
What are the nicest, kid/family friendly breeds? And most aggressive breeds I would want to stay away from?
Hey great watch a few videos and a few others that mentioned the Murray Hatchery and I’m trying to find out if Murray’s ship to the Caribbean or to the USVI??? Catalogs and chicks.
Ok this is the best information I have found on the best chickens for me personally thank you Roots And refuge and thank you Murray McMurray.
Definately gateway…Have been planning more chickens as a cover for getting a couple of turkeys…Just got 27 austrolorps thinking a dozen more and 2 turkeys….? Do I tell the mrs in advance 😀 …Not if I want the turkeys 😀
Oh my goodness!! I loved this so much!
I put frozen berries in the water in the summer sometimes or some ice. It's so cute watching them bob for berries and it keeps them cool and hydrated.
Can I still use the code ROOTS for a discount?
Yay! Got a catalog!
I kind of hate you one minute in. Iowa is awesome.
Awesome 411!
How did you not tell him ben's baby chip story?!
If I have the space, I would like to keep 2 breeds, Leghorn for eggs and Silki for meat and brooding. I am having quail now for eggs and meat, since my backyard is small and the neighbors are too close. Quails can give you eggs and meat when they're 42 days old, and they're quiet and heavy layers. The only issue I have is they never go broody. We have to use incubator to hatch and raise them.
