Help! We finally got a roll out nest box and only 1 in 40 eggs is being laid in it. They are laying under it, in the coop bedding and in their feed. We're getting more broken eggs now than when we had the standard nestbox in there. It's in the same spot and aside from the internal angle of the...
Alright, for now I do not have pictures to show my chickens to you all but I will tell you what I have for now.
I have several chickens, usually around 75. Right now I have several breeds, and a hybrid strain I call REELs that I am developing myself. I have Buff Orpingtons, Barred Rocks, Rhode...
At this time I know I will be bringing 1-3 10 hole metal nestboxes. 2 have the plastic bottoms and one of them is older and the wooden bottoms are long gone. Hopefully I will be bringing a small egg turner for a gqf styro incumbator with the turkey/goose inserts. Will also have a smattering of...
I will also be bringing onesies that are hand dyed and screen printed with a little chick on them. Most are hot pink with a purple chick but there are some that are brown with light pink or light blue chick on them. My niece and I made them, they aren't perfect but she had so much fun making them.
We've received some feedback about the bison meat so we will be bringing some in coolers. It will most likely all be frozen. Burger, steaks, and roasts mostly. Let me know if you're looking for anything in particular.
Also, our turkeys are BBW but they are hatched from eggs by us, we have them...
My sister and I will be attending! We're really excited.
We will be definitely bringing the following but may have more stuff:
- Turkeys
- Barred Rock Laying hens DOB 12/1/10
- EE laying hens DOB 12/1/10
- Bison jerky and pepperoni (We raise bison and have a USDA processing plant)
- Homemade...
I have to convince my husband that I must go to this! If I do, is anyone interested in Barred Rock or EE hens that were hatched 2/1/11? I also have 1 EE roo and 1 BR roo that were hatched the same day. I also have frozen whole fryers and live thanksgiving BBW turkeys, seeds from 2011 that we...
I am in Forest Grove, Oregon, west of PDX. I'd love to get a few leghorn roosters of any color. Do not need to be showable, just leghorn. (Please, no other breeds.)
Thanks!!!

Hi all, I didn't know where to talk about this but I think Meat Birds ETC is the perfect place. I have been butchering small animals for over 10 years and want to invite anyone and everyone in the Portland, OR area to our farm for our first Meat Processing Demonstration. I have been teaching...
I'm selling them as LIVE and WHOLE. But I will complimentary process them for people. They'd have to opt out of processing, not opt in. I am selling the 30 I have reserved for $3/lb processed but they will be listed with their live and dressed weights. I don't plan on making too much money this...
