We are looking at a house where they have raised chickens, ducks, and guinea. The animals will not be staying. We will start our own flock from baby chicks. What should I do to the property before raising our own chicks? I don’t know if they vaccinate their animals, but I would guess no. Thanks

LOL We are using 2/3 of a shed the size of a single stall garage as our chicken coop. Right now, I have a broody hen with a few chicks in a dog kennel in the coop. The door is closed, but I wanted to see if we could open the door so the momma broody could at least go out and poop in the coop...

I have 1 bielefelder roo and two bielefelder X cream legbar roos. I also have bielefelder and bielefelder x cream legbar hens. Some of them lay green eggs and a couple lay brown eggs. I recently hatched some chicks. On one of them, I had a chick come out of a green egg. I think it's a male, but...

I bought one of the cheap Chinese incubators. I wasn't careful and I got the one with the angled control panel. I am using an incubator warehouse thermometer/hygrometer inside the incubator. I was able to keep the temp stable for the first 18 days. Humidity was a little up and down, but ok...

Would really like to find some of these in North Texas so that I could pick them up. Also willing to purchase eggs to incubate. Thanks!

I have three week old chicks and am just about out of chick starter. I am using H and H poultry organic starter. I bought Cascade/Magill Ranch grower for my pullets. The difference is that the starter has 19% protein and the grower has 16% protein. What can I give my chicks to make up the...

I was given several 3+ year old hens. One lays a green egg and the other two lay brown eggs. I get two or three quail sized green eggs a week and two to three small green eggs. Another hen lays two eggs a week and the third hen lays anywhere from three to five eggs a week. I am feeding organic...

We were recently given 5 hens and a rooster by our neighbor. She said the chickens are 5 years old. The first egg came a week after we got them. The rooster is quite aggressive and the bottom 3 hens have bare backs. One came with it and the other two got it since they came to us. Saturday, we...

Our neighbor gave us her 4 yo hens and rooster. I think they are *at least* four years old. We've had them about a week and a half. They are picking at each other something fierce and we are working at keeping that at bay. I've got no pick on the ones that are being picked on and have been...

Our neighbor gave us her chickens. There is one white rooster and 5 hens. 4 of the hens are a spotted brown color and the fifth one is kind of a whitish color. She has greenish feet. For the first two nights, we kept the chickens in our shed. We finally got their coop to our house and put it...

I'm new here, and very excited about the possibility of having chickens. We are moving to a new house that is almost an acre. The ordinance in Lewisville indicates that an acre is needed to have chickens. Does anyone know if Lewisville is lenient with variances? I'd rather follow the law, if...
