Hey, our chicks are almost the same age. Unfortunately our terrible neighbors have objected to us keeping five, so we can only keep two, for which we don't need their permission. Do you have a coop? I am about 80% done building ours.
Nice! Sorry to hear about the neighbors; who wouldn't want neighbors with chickens? We've got six so without a doubt we will be swimming in eggs here in a couple months... I am going to build a coop this summer out in one of the field areas near our house. It probably won't be anything fancy since fingers crossed we'll be leaving here in 2-3 years. Do you plan to let yours run around in your yard or are you building a run as well?
I've been told that certain breeds of chickens love field mice. If one of my neighbors wanted to keep a few chickens that loved field mice, I'd be all for it. Like centipedes and spiders in the basement, it can't hurt, right?Sorry to hear about the neighbors; who wouldn't want neighbors with chickens?
I heard about that. There's supposedly a patch coming in Junglefowl 52.37-12.183 update. The programmer loosefeathers found that the previous update affected all of the models running the G. g. domesticus distro. Apparently it was some kind of memory stack error that didn't manifest itself until after 1,200+ hours of uninterrupted runtime.
