anyone know who i would have bought RIR eggs from in the Liberty area 7 years ago? I have not been on here in a while and have lost contacts.

I am trying to find a gentleman i purchased Heritage Rhode Island Reds eggs from in Kentucky. I believe he lived in Pennsylvania but his sons were here in southern Kentucky. I am old and can't remember names for nothing, but he had a heritage barred rock post on here and RIRs ring a bell with...

if i didn't thank you, thank you

nay

anyone know who may have eggs this spring near Lexington KY? thank you

there used to be an acres farm in florida which had New Hampshire Reds. Do they still exist? cannot find...

post pictures, someone will be willing to identify your breeds.

I don't check in here much anymore, but I am in Lexington. I am subscribed to this post, but for some odd reason only get an occasional post sent my way. heritage RIRs and a few others in my backyard. My hens are getting some age on them, but too attached to make chicken and dumplings, so we are...

FREE HENS I live in Lexington and have 10 hens, 2 years old, that I need to rehome. What with the neighborhood dogs and kids harassing them all the time, I have given up. 7 heritage RIR, 2 Marans, 1 easter egger, laying good right now but are not youngsters anymore. I realize someone may want...

I imagine a long legged hen wearing silk stockings. on the serious side, some will likely be good layers and some will go broody, hard to know

too big for a first egg too. I have eggs that turn up a similar color, wet it and it will loose some of the that

when I first read this title I thought it said "composing". My chickens like to sing, maybe I should try a collaboration with them.

I am in lexington, my chickens didn't like yesterday's 2" of snow, suspect the 8 to 18 expected tomorrow will really freak them out. plan on tarping part of their run tonight to give them a little more snow free space.

most certainly a roo, most certainly a mix. don't think I would care to guess but does appear to have barred rock. the barring could be from other species but with the yellow legs too, I feel pretty good on that one.

i didn't get too far into this, should be working, don't tell the boss. While it may be true that some animals drink more in the winter, I can tell you, as a sweating mammal, that I do not and neither does our horse. High humidity with heat actually makes us sweat more in an attempt to cool.

raccoons take it with them more than not. I have experienced birds taken by raccoons, weasel/minks, possoms foxes, owls, and hawks. A raccoon will usually eat more than that, they are a big animal, and usually leave with it. Every kill that I had proof of a mink being the culprit, the victim was...

Mary is correct, going up in the 60s and 70s, I rarely saw a cooper's hawk, I think the accipter family, of which it belongs, was harder hit by ddt due to their diet of mostly birds that had a lot of ddt in their system. DDT's destructive property wasn't that it killed the birds but made their...

cooper's hawks generally hunt on the move, they aim to surprise birds that they come upon. But they can also lay in wait at bird feeders and the like where they know birds will congregate. Your soaring hawks of which the Red-tailed is either soar, sometimes at very high altitudes, or perch. the...

I don't know if it is an increase in numbers, thus competition for food, or just city hawks that are used to people, or what. After 8 years with only one hawk attack of no consequence, I can't leave them out for 5 minutes any more. I can't count the number of attacks in the last year, but I know...

I kind of agree too, and lets face it, the whole point of domestication was to the end of use. And the vast majority do not show. I have some problem with the breeding to standard at the detriment of the chicken being useful otherwise. The inbreeding that is necessary for this doesn't create a...
