I might be able to help. Backyard flock for pet and egg purposes only. What breeds and how many of each kind?

Thanks so much! Just ordered SOP and am reading up all that I can!

Thank you so much for all of the information! I'll get to work reading and I just ordered the SOP. Just wanted to be sure it was really essential. Sounds like it will be important and worth having. I appreciate the help and suggestions!

I've been a backyard flock owner for some time, but would like to get into showing for the fun of the hobby. My chickens are all from a hatchery so I doubt they are show girls, but I am not sure. 1. How can I tell? I saw how pricy the SOP was on the APA website and also the ABA website too...

Punky Rooster for australorp

It sounds like there is nothing I can do for them in this case. My chicks are being vaccinated for mereks, but as far as I know that is it. I will find out if I can have them vaccinated for avian pox as the article suggests. I'm thinking I'll have to wait it out with the roos. I was planning...

Hello there! I'm a newbie so any advice is greatly appreciated. I have 7 chicks coming in March for a small flock. My husband just bought a used Coop and 2 adult SLW roos. They are in the coop now, but he plans to build another small coop for them so that the chicks can use this coop when...

Congratulations!!!!! Yeay! Was it a decent size or a tiny first timer?

Hello! I have chicks coming in march for a backyard flock including one golden laced wyandotte. My husband surprised me this weekend with a coop and with it came two roosters that are silver laced wyandottes, 18 months old. Is there a way to tell for sure that is what they are? I read a lot...
