@FortCluck , no not those in particular. Just any kind of good meaty, meat chickens. Just want to stock up our freezer during the winter with some fresh chickens. Trying to avoid going through a hatchery; would rather take my chances with a member in this group of fine people aka chicken...
If you still have the ducks, please let us know (we can take the rooster too so you can have them all gone). We live in Clifton Forge, VA so would need to meet somewhere in the middle between here and there. Just let me know. Thanks!
Looking to buy some meat chicken hatching eggs. Let me know what you have and how much. Shipping would be to 24422. Looking for anywhere from 12 to 24 and will be a repeat buyer if the price + shipping is a good deal. Thanks!!
The only all purpose feed tractor supply has is this:

The other feed which I think would probably be better cause it is 16% protein (where the above is 12%) would be...
Thank you very much @ChocolateMouse !! What about a cabbage go round? Where you tie up a head of cabbage and let them peck at it and eat it at their own leisure and fun? Has you or anyone else tried that?
Thank you @DobieLover and @JedJackson . I have about 20-25 hens and either one or two roo's (I know one but we are still debating on if another is a roos or hen, can't tell by its rear feathers and it doesn't have tail feathers). They have a fenced in run, about 10-15 ft long and that wide...
Will do @ChocolateMouse . I Don't know why anyone would say something like that and it be not helpful but possibly harmful to our birds. I would never do anything that would hurt them knowingly and I will be correcting my mistakes right away you can bet that! I will do one or that other (layer...
Hello everyone! I know that molting and often the winter time can hinder the laying of chickens but this has been going since the end of October or before that they quit laying. I have many different types of breeds, one or two roosters possibly, I think one at least, the rest, about 30 maybe...
Picture one, chicken one
Picture two and three, chicken two
Picture four and five, chicken three
and
Picture six and seven, chicken four...
Thanks again everyone!! Very much appreciated!!
Thank you thank you Jed Jackson!! Your detailed reply is so very appreciated. I am going to upload some 'individual pics' of the buffs that I believe are mostly cockerels and I will try to get a better picture of the red and black one later just for for sure verification before we get rid of him...
So if their hackles (those are their combs right?) fold over and get floppy then those are the hens of that breed, right? Is it like that with all the breeds or just that one? You mentioned saddle feather? I will have to look that up cause I remember reading about that but don't remember what...
My husband went a lil chicken crazy this spring and got a LOT of straight run chickens from our local tractor supply. We have been trying to get rid of most of most of the roosters but we think there are a few more. In the pictures I am asking about the buff colored chickens with the bigger...
Thank you for confirming many of my thoughts about what I have. Tractor Supply is never very straight with what they might have in their pens for sale. It can often say its one thing and turn out to be another, but I love it just the way they are.
Yes, at least one or two cockerels that I know...
