Hello all, I was looking for people on a different Missouri thread and came across this one. Seems to be very busy over here. I live in Northern Missouri small town near Hannibal Mo. I have 39 chickens including 4 Copper Maran hens, a couple Maran roosters, a variety of LF Cochin, and many...

adorable.

I agree. we went to show with Roy last year and the skinny bony was a bit distressing for me. I wanted to bring them all home to give them good feedings. Mine are on the plump side but not fat.

You know, thinking back, I did not select the breed of goat I own. We needed milk for a grandson and very badly! Asking around I found Roy who owns dairy goats. During the summer I made at least two trips a week driving 25 minutes each way to get enough milk to feed him plus freeze for the...

Hi, sorry for being gone for so long and not answering questions. We ran into some allergy problems having to visit many doctors only to be sent to a psych doctor...sigh... Anyway, we finally found an excellent doctor who is well versed in allergens and treating a person in the whole not just...

I have a question I am not sure of a customer is asking. I have LF Cochin purchased from 2 different breeders. To my knowledge neither set of Cochin I have have ever had a frizzle in their line. My customer purchased 3 lf black cochin from me at 2 weeks old. The chicks are now six weeks old...

I set 10 eggs, 8 made it to lock down. 7 hatched today and number 8 is chirping away! Most likely it will be here by morning.

i forgot to post yesterday (really busy) I got 10 eggs set.

I would like to be added to the hatch-a-long please

Thank you for your insight. Yes you are right it is the gallbladder. I don't know why I kept calling it the spleen. I've been looking on the net for further information about Mareks and really hoping this isn't the problem not real happy with the thought of losing my flock but if it has to be...

We have owned chickens 2 years now and this winter have come into a problem where a chicken will look to have a resp. disease. They slow down/lethargy, hunch their bodies and the color around the eyes changes. There is no swelling, no mucus, no drainage from nose, no rattle to lungs. They eat...

Merry Christmas to all !!!!!

Interesting thoughts Bantam. However, I do argue. In fact there are articles all over the net confirming soy crosses into the egg. But the most important thing here is how it affects the person with the disease. There are several in the celiac program I attend that can not eat eggs without...

I've a question about egg color. I ordered Ameraucana eggs in the summer. They came and were the color of B4/B6 according to the chart. Now they have begun to lay and the egg colors are C12/D6. These are supposed to be real Ameraucana's I got from someone in the Ameraucana Club. I don't...

Okay I finally have fermented feed =)! I took your large trash can idea and asked the hubby to find a way to keep it warm in one of the chicken sheds. We purchased a 50 gallon syrup drum from the salvage yard. It has a twist on lid. He put electrical tape around it and plugged it in. It doesn't...

Okay, maybe I am thinking this a bit differently. I have read different posts and I assumed you had to have 3 containers 1=start day, 2=ferment day, 3=ferment/feed day. I'm missing something because it sounds like you are using 1 or 2 buckets at most for your fermented feed? The mash I make...

I have a question about adding fermented feed to mash I make for my chickens. I cook mash for my 50+ chickens daily. I want to add fermented feed to the mash. The reason I can not provide just the fermented feed is because i do not have a place to ferment that much seed. I can handle 3 jars on...

I borrowed a buck to breed the girls and my goodness he stinks to high heaven, lol. Being my first season I was able to figure out when the girls were going into heat but wouldn't be able to get to the buck in time because of the owners schedule and my schedule. Since he wasn't using EverReady...

Good evening, this is my first year for goats. We have 2 La Mancha females that we will be bred this month. I've read books on caring for goats starting before we even got them. I feel reading and actual hands on knowledge is completely different. Since we are about to breed them I have been...

http://www.ferrifresh.weebly.com I wanted to share my experience with kara1015 who has ferrifresh farms. In the past I ordered a dozen eggs from two different people, out of those 24 eggs I got 4 Ameraucana. They are beautiful but not a very good hatch rate even for eggs that were shipped...
