So I personally have been watching your ebay auctions for at least 6 months now. I see the amount of traffic you get and the amount of income you are making. Congratulations on doing really well for yourself financially. I messaged you on ebay previously about your white chicks, but haven't...
Just collar your roosters. Buy baby socks and 2.5" velcro. Cut velcro to 6" piece. Put the sticky sides of the 2 velcro pieces together. Round the corners with scissors.. Cut toes off baby sock. Slide onto chicken's neck as low as possible. Secure velcro tightly over sock leaving enough room to...
For my chicks I feed Nutrena Chick Crumbles. For adults I use Producer's Pride because it is WAY more cost efficient (12 a bag vs 18 a bag). I use a ratio of 1 scoop pellets & 1/2 scoop scratch grains and have gotten nothing but compliments on eggs and health of birds. Adults get Manna Pro...

Chickens in general should have water available 24 hours a day no matter what in my opinion.. my chickens also have 24 hour access to food. What reason is there that they need to go without overnight?

Misconception: If a Cemani hatches with white toes, the toes will eventually turn black and it is still ok breeding stock.
Fact: NO. White toes may eventually turn grey, but all Cemanis born with white toes, or even a...
I feed seafood flavored canned cat food to my baby quails during the first week to help them build up their strength. I use one of the small fancy feast sized cans and they (15-20 quails) get about 1/2 a tablespoon twice a day. Anything in the can uneaten at the end of the 5 days goes to the...
Hello All!
This is my surprise Golden Laced Polish, Puff. Puff is 6 weeks old and while I initially thought it was a pullet, I am now thinking cockerel. What do you think?
