I ran a cross a British heritage breed I would love to have. Greenfire Farm has also been on the lookout for a source of good stock for this LF lovely old breed. which are excellent foragers, with several color patterns, including Wheaten. Black, Brown, and White. Very few exist in Britain. I...

I am raising my 3rd batch of chicks now, and I use an over-the -brooder radiant heat (ceramic) source only for the first week or two, and switch to an under-the-brooder heat pad that is made for sprouting seeds after they no longer need the 95-90 degree heat. I find they are very comfortable...

I am interested in Hollands. I hear they are one of the most endangered breeds but have great " backyard chicken" qualities :good layers and foragers, good dual purpose breed, nice personalities, hardy, though white eggs are not so popular as they used to be. Certainly they have many good...

FYI-- This is a listing on Craig's list Delaware. Listed price is $35. I asked and it does not have a turner. The lady listing this replied she would post the model and perhaps a pic. Here is a link http://delaware.craigslist.org/grd/1673712018.html

I just happened to see this site in Long Island NY -- the guy builds coops on specifications to suit- cheaper than the originals in most cases and he says better quality than the Chinese ones (hope he's wrong about quality because my new untested tractor is Chinese-built, from Enland!). And he...

FYI -- I saw a guy on Craig's list today who is building what appear to be good quality small coops/tractors -- copies of whatever designs people ask for. And he also sells started birds -- fully feathered 6 week-olds. White leghorn, RIR, Buff Orp, Wyandotte, Polish, standard Cochin,Sicilian...

There is a new posting on Craig's list South Jersey for Buff Orp. hens for $10. each and a free Black Star rooster.

Someone nearby on Craig's list is offering 6 month old pullets of this cross for $5.(!) What do you think of this cross for a backyard egg-layer? Temperament is important. Thanks everyone for your opinions.

Hi everyone. I am a newbie and have been voraciously reading and learning. I recently won an ebay auction for a Cumfy Pets Chicken/Rabbit Ark. it is built in China (WHAT ISN'T?) and marketed by a British company with an American partner. I got what I think was an amazing deal, though the...
