Before I begin, I am doing my research, so please no comments on how this is not doable or healthy. Chickens used to live off the land before commercial feed so I know it can be done.
I have a few people interested in grain free chicken due to allergies and personal reasons. I know Freedom...
I am a firm believer of free ranging. My chickens are overall happier, healthier, and the feed costs drop dramatically. I currently have Cornish X meat birds that were born 2 days before Thanksgiving and they are getting huge. I am thinking about allowing them to free range as well...
I moved my second flock of chickens in with my old flock because of predator issues. I did this about two days ago and everyone is living peacefully. Every morning I let my old flock out because they free range and keep the others locked up since this coop is about 50 yards from their old...
I have 2 black male silkies and one confirmed white male silkie. There will be possible Belgian D'Uccle/White Silkie males as well, but I haven't been able to sex them yet. Since they are roosters, my price will be negotiable but they will not be free. All of the birds have dark wattles...
Here a just a few of my whole gang. In total I have 6 RSL, 1 Ameracauna, 1 Easter Egger, 2 Sebright Bantams, 1 American Game Bantam, 5 Black Silkies, 3 White Silkies, 6 Belgian D'Uccle/White Silkie, and 1 Ameracauna/RSL.
Enjoying Dinner!

So...I had an extra egg this morning. My Sebright Bantam has been a daily layer for about 2 weeks now. This morning, I had an extra egg that is the same size as hers, but in a different nest box (She will only use the one). She is the only female bantam I have, the others are sex-links. Will...
Hey all! I know there are many ways of integrating. I have two that are about 10 weeks old who have shared a run with my current flock, it was just partitioned off. They have been sharing the run for almost two months, so the chickens see each other daily. Now that I am trying to integrate...
