Eggz For The Gainz ——- https://www.t-nation.com/diet-fat-loss/do-whole-eggs-act-like-steroids

In this thread, we will discuss the use of ivermectin both in treatment of our chickens for things like mites, and its possible use against COVID. I don’t want to take any position on ivermectin except as an excellent anti parasitic medication for cattle, pigs, chickens, and more. One of the...

A well-known Brahma breeder who will remain anonymous posted this picture of a chick on Facebook. I was shocked that this breeder would advertise this chick as anything favorable whatsoever. It has vulture hocks, doesn't it? If what I'm seeing is just soft feathering, I will delete this post...

PhotoZ of Feral ChickenZ are totally invited here! Are they cute? Are they a problem? Are they Pests? What do you think when you see a feral hen with 8 or 10 little peeps following?

Here are my goals with the general egg-laying flock: First, I want broody hens that set eggs and then brood them. This is because mail-order chicks aren't a thing where I live, although local breeders do exist. Second, I love the following appearance traits: Black, Blue, and Toppy (because...

Imagine that you want to buy a chicken for breeding. The seller has a clean property, adequate housing, breeding coops, and an apparently healthy flock. However, these are the only chickens available for sale. All are males except for No. 2. The prices are the same for each one. Which one do...

I have seen one or two reports in Twitter about shipments of baby chicks being DOA recently. Obviously, this is not peak chick season, but some people still order at this time. I included a poll to see whether anyone has had any problems. Please reply IF you have had problems....

As everyone's flock increases in numbers, people are abandoning dressing up to go to town in favor of feeding, seeing, treating, and cuddling their chickens. :wee:wee:wee:wee:wee:jumpy:love:jumpy:wee:wee:wee:wee:wee Chicken litter is becoming more of a chore as chicken numbers increase. No one...

I am trying to message around 7 or 8 people but once I add the fifth person, I can't add any more. There's a message that I can only "select" five items. Are conversations limited to the originator + only 5 others? Thanks for any help or insight you might have.

These are commercial eggs. They are not from my flock. In fact, I bought these eggs because two of my hens have gone broody and there are a lot of pullets not quite yet at point of lay, so I'm not getting many eggs. I was fixing breakfast this morning and I noticed something odd with one of...

We have had a series of broody hens this year. Here's a brief rundown of the broods, together with pictures of Broody Hen Nº 7's chick explosion!! Nº 1 - One gray chick that grew up to be a beautiful gray hen. Nº 2 - Seven chicks - three cockerels and four pullets Nº 3 - Two chicks - lost...

A couple of weeks ago, I got 8 young hatchery-quality Plymouth Barred Rocks. They were young enough they needed to spend a couple nights in the house. Boy, were they ever messy! They are nicknamed athe Messies for a reason. They also went berserk when night fell because they were accustomed to...

I have been busy with improving the security for our chicken run. As of now, the chickens just run together. There are a few game mix hens, the Rooster in my avatar, a speckled hen, and a couple other partridge-type hens. For the main run and coop, I am looking to go more toward games and game...

This is a story about a chicken takeout place in New Orleans and how they modified things to increase the physical distance between staff and customers. https://www.nola.com/news/coronavirus/article_45982ffc-a11d-11ea-859a-97ddc3f9cb01.html

This isn't a question ---- it's more like an update. It's been a few years since I've posted here. A big part of the reason is that I was busy with other projects (building additions to the house) and we also had to drastically improve the fencing around our coop. We also cemented and installed...

I am located in an area where it never gets really cold, but there is constant rainy weather some months of the year. The average daytime temperature is around 70 degrees F. The weather is similar to weather in parts of Oregon. During the last couple of months, I have had a lot of coccidia...

This post is for everyone who harvested a bird from your own flock for Christmas dinner!! Describe the bird(s), how you prepared them, and what you and your guests thought of them!! I'll go first. I harvested a mixed-breed rooster plus a mixed-breed naked neck hen. Butchered using a knife...

I am making some plans for a small farm. I have two types of animals that mostly eat forage and consume either very little or only small amounts of commercial feed. I know the market prices of these animals and know that I can raise them without breaking the bank. I am less certain about...

I am curious what sort of mix this rooster is. His comb is interesting!
