    What is a sapphire gem?

    Some info I found The Sapphire Gem is a sex-linked chicken variety of chick, which means that their gender can be determined shortly after they hatch by observing their feathers’ colors. Cross-breeding chickens cause this trait. Another important note about the bedazzling beauties is that they...

    Shipping eggs via USPS

    A few weeks ago I had eggs shipped from NC to FL. Shipped 2/19 est arrival 2/22. They finally arrived 3/2 after a detour to Seattle WA and tracking could not say where else they were. USPS is a roll of the dice. You win some, you lose some.

    Question for Christians

    Religion is a man made constuct of control. Control by fear, guilt, separation and weakness. Religion leads us down a path and tells us which way is right and which is wrong. Spirit is God. God gave us free will, discernment and a conscience (spirit). Every man, woman and child has their own...

    Seramas, can I let my 17 adult Seramas into a small fenced yard to forage? Currently in coop and run and no forage left. Always access to food, water

    Hawks in my area love Seramas. You should have protection from aerial predators. They are just like other chickens. They go home to roost.

    *POLL*What do you consider too much money for a chick ?

    There are unscrupulous people everywhere, but I'm an optimist. I buy hatchery chicks because I get a limited live arrival assurance and I eliminate an overabundance of cockerels. Since I don't show, it does not matter to me if they are hatchery quality. I don't buy live birds locally because...

    *POLL*What do you consider too much money for a chick ?

    I also hatch shipped eggs. Truthfully, it can cost a LOT more than buying live chicks. Like 12 eggs of a desired breed for $100 with shipping can mean you are throwing away $100 or paying around $8 for a chick (rarely happens, all hatch) and anything in between. And you get far too many...

    *POLL*What do you consider too much money for a chick ?

    Yep, everything LOVES chicken. We have raccoons and bobcats in rural Florida and they WILL find a way into a secure coop. I lost sheep to a panther (our name for mountain lion...no mountains in FL)

    *POLL*What do you consider too much money for a chick ?

    I find people who sell chickens locally are well meaning, but misinformed. If I see Ameraucana chicks, thy are probably EE. They have been told this and relay the misinformation to local buyers who also know no better. They assume any black combed chick is AC because they have been told it is...

    *POLL*What do you consider too much money for a chick ?

    Chickens with black skin and combs are beautiful and unusual looking. They are always a conversation starter. I had AC but bobcat ate them. Now I order Mystic onyx from Hoovers. They are lovely, mostly black including comb, a good size, some crested and sweet disposition. Al in all beautiful...

    *POLL*What do you consider too much money for a chick ?

    It depend on what a person wants. What one is willing and ready to pay. Super rare breed to make your own chicks to sell? I remember when Ayam Cemani were selling for $5000 and people were buying them. Avid collector of rare colors? Hopeful exhibitor of show chickens? Not another chick around...

    12 week old chickens

    Chickens are opportunistic omnivores. They eat everything they can. Mine get all outdated cans of whatever, eggs, sausage, chicken and turkey carcasses, left overs. You can use soaked, dry cat and dog food, commercial fish food, hog chow, whatever. These should be supplements to their regular...
