Thanks! These were already adults when we got them, so we're just trying to determine how long we have to keep them pinned before they consider our place home.

Thank you Miss Lydia! Since they are already adults, do you think they would already have enough weight on them?

Thanks!

Hi! We have a friendly pair of American Buff geese that we acquired recently. How long does it take before we can safely let them out of then pen area to free-range? We're also looking at possibly extending their pen, but the extension would be four foot wall...will they fly over it - will two...

Thanks TileMan. Haven't heard of, and didn't find on a quick internet search, bantam dark cornish. Any chance of a picture of an adult next to an adult RIR, RedStar, Leghorn, or something to that effect so I can try to get an idea of the actual size of yours? Thanks again! Denise

Lost the only chicken we didn't want to loose and would like to find a replacement. Looking for a Dark Cornish/Indian Game ROOSTER! Any age (prefer older!). Willing to pay or trade chickens. We could part with one hen of same breed or we have: EEs (roosters and hens), Red Star hens, Pearl White...

Personally, I find any chicken running hilarious...makes me laugh every time I see them do it (which is about every time I go out there..."any goodies?"!).

I don't know how much they weigh...have never weighed them. They are smaller, lightweight chickens - similar to pheasants I believe. My hubby once witnessed ours doing a "fly over" of some meat birds we were raising and said they flew just like pheasants and look like them too! I don't have...

Not sure. Give it a try and let us know!! ;-)

It was 1 tsp. vanilla to a quart of water. I didn't have any guidance on the rosemary oil, so just poured a little in - not sure how much, but it was enough that I could smell it (yet could still smell the vanilla). Also, I noticed the particular one I actually used (I have a few different...

I LOVE rosemary, and yes it smells fabulous! Unfortunately, I don't seem to be able to keep them alive very long...though my last one did live for about a year, which is great for me! Mine have to be container, or dug up in the fall - they can't survive our winters outdoors. Any tips would be...

Hi folks! Thought I'd share in case anybody else is having this issue... We've had a big issue with gnats (buffalo that bite!) this year due to a lot of rain, frequently! I have thought my girls, mostly my EEs, were going through a molt - I've just had chickens for a little over a year and...

Thanks for the feedback! It hasn't happened for awhile now...probably not since I posted the original message. I'm not certain, but I do think the shells were not very thick. I do give my girls oyster shell, but still seem to get some thin shells from some of my Red Stars. They've only been...

I seem to have a hen that has recently been apparently just laying an egg while on the roost instead of in the box fairly frequently. One thought I've had is that shortly before this started, I had a hen lay an egg about the size of an ostrich egg and maybe she has lost some control as a...

I think Murray McMurray Hatchery will ship them to Canada, but wouldn't swear to it (min. order of 25). I just got a dozen of their Dark Cornish Game birds on Memorial Day and have been enjoying watching them when I can stand to be outside with all the bugs around this wet year!! They are...

Good thinking Red-tailed! We have plenty of predators around here...including lots of your kind and who have tried to get our chickens!! ;-} Mine are free-range and don't strictly hang out by color (they will all often hang out together), but they do primarily hang by color. When they roost...

Amending this a bit...once our Silver Leghorns started to lay, they became much friendlier and not so flighty! While they don't lay every day, they lay most days. The eggs range from small to medium sized.

Thanks folks! Figured they would be okay, but always like to know for sure first when giving them something I didn't make myself!

Are stale "Cheerios" okay for chickens as a treat occasionally? I have a big bag and hate to just toss it, so am wondering if it would be okay to feed them a little bit of them once a week or so. Thoughts?...

I have noticed in my flock that like breeds do seem to hang out more together, though some will hang out with the others. I have some new chicks I got on Memorial Day, but not counting them I have 4 Red Stars, 3 Silver Leghorns, and 4 EEs. One of my leghorns is rather independent and she varies...
