I have raised chickens for several years and I still get like a kid at Christmas time when my young ones start laying.
I found my first eggs yesterday and today from my new babies that I got in May. I am so excited!!!!!!!!!!
Just wanted to share my excitement.........
How do you keep your Rabbits water from freezing in the winter???
I have heaters for the chicken waterers but not sure what to do about the Rabbit.......
I am looking for hens for my sons school teacher. She recently lost some of her flock. She is looking for ones a year old to a year and a half or younger. Please let me know what you have and where you are.
I bought 50 meat chicks in June. I knew I only wanted to keep them for 8 weeks and that is what I did. I lost 2 chicks within the first week and processed 48 yesterday. Well I myself didnt do it. DH and friend, they have all the equipment, did it.
The averaged 7-8 pounds. A lot smaller...
I am not sure what is going on but I have an area with 11 hens only no Roosters in there. They have their own private run and none of the Roosters can get to them.
My question is why do you think they keep loosing their back feathers? They look like they have been mating. One has even lost...
I just found this on the chest of my 2 year old. She is the one that is in this thread as injured as well. https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=47523
What do you think it is or could have caused it???
