    Question for all you hunters out there

    I spent some time out of the woods in search for deer because the lack of land to call "my own"(not public hunting land). But now that my neighbor allowed me to hun on his nearly 90 acre plot of land I'm looking at some trail cameras. I currently have a conventional camera that I picked up for...

    Graze box question

    I wasn't thinking a super wide or long graze box(es). Thinking 2 or 3 foot at widest and 8 foot long. Right now hardware cloth if it's on the shelf a 2 foot wide by 25 foot long roll of it I listed for 40+ bucks. I'm not sure if I can find the 1x2 fencing...I at least haven't came across it in...

    Graze box question

    Hello all, I'm looking at building a couple of grazing boxes for my flock so they have a constant supply of green grass in their large enclosure. Their large enclosure is plenty large but I feel not large enough to get away with direct seeding the ground every few months and don't have the...

    Winterizing win

    Thanks! Since I'm out of work I'm trying to do things before it turns and I have the chance to do it right. The weather is changing slowly up here but with the way the weather is I wouldn't be surprised to see snow here in the beginning of November. When I go back to work I won't have so much...

    Winterizing win

    So, since I've been out of work for my surgery. I've had a ton of time to think on how I wanted to tarp the original 10x10 I constructed for winter. Last year I used left over vapor barrier with fender washers and exterior screws. But I disliked out it came out and the plastic ripped because of...

    Rooster mounting

    Good to know! When he and the girls his age were at that 20 week range. I didn't notice him do his duty. It may have been because of work and him carrying out said duties while we weren't present. I'm just hopeful she hasn't been laying elsewhere and the older girls breaking them. The older...

    Rooster mounting

    It appeared she allowed him to do it. But I wasn't focused on the birds I was letting the pack of dogs outside to do their business and looked over. She didn't fight him off but im not sure if he was chasing or not.

    Rooster mounting

    ...average age range according to the interwebs that they will start laying 20-24 weeks. The newcomers are turning 22 weeks on Monday. Thanks Edit* I did notice that her and her breed sisters combs and wattles have become vibrant red which can be indicative but they've been vibrant since...

    First time layers

    That's why I put quotations around "americauna" lol and I know patience is key at this point. I'm also waiting for others to start laying. I know it's a generalization, but wondered if anyone noticed a more accurate time frame based on a few generations of the breeds.

    First time layers

    Hey all, I have 8 birds that are 21-22 weeks old (sapphire gems, "americauna", GLW and SLW) and of those the average time the gems and americaunas are supposed to lay are claimed to be between 20 and 24 weeks. Anyone have a more accurate indication from different generations of the breeds...

    Best feed

    Good to know it's not made by the same maker. But im more than happy about my choice with nutrena especially when I found out where my bag of feed came from(locally)

    You gotta do some digging but you can find it on their website(at least I did) you cam find the nutritional value and breakdown just not their ingredient list.

    I'm not thinking you guys aren't thinking that either. I more or less made this poll to allow folks to create a discussion to look more into feeds(quality, freshness and needs all whole trying to consciousness of the price) and I'm not saying all Purina is bad either, but after finding their...

    Fair enough, just like me with nutrena being the freshest near me aside from a local New England company called poulin grain which is based in my neighboring state in Vermont(if I remember correctly or NH). The local feed store told me that they're both great products but he recommended nutrena...

    Now why the fondness to purina? I'm not knocking your thought process. I'm just not a huge fan of the brand because of the lack of quality in their dog food along with artificial dyes they put in the food. Now for me the freshest would be nitrena coming from The local mill(3 hrs away) which goes...

    I don't disagree at all I was just stating that tractor supply brand in the northern part of the states is produced by purina so in theory would be a decent feed. While my original 8 were raised on dumor and they liked it, they also wasted a bunch. But once I switched to nutrena, the waste as...

    For us, there's a local company called poulin grain. There's also nutrena mills near us(to my surprise). There's a horse grain mill about an hour from me and a chicken grain mill about 2.5 to 3 hours away. The feed store made sure that the nutrena feed we buy here in our small village is from...

    Hello all, Figured I'd start a poll on what everyone's opinion on which is the best feed out there. I personally like nutrena brand all around since I switched our flock to them. I'm sure there's better feed out there but price point to quality I think is pretty damn good. Before I switched my...
