This recipe was so close! Thank you so much!!! It was delicious and easy to make! I'll definitely make it again!!

Hello, I am looking for some black orpington chicks. I do not want to have to order 15 chicks just for a few. Does anyone have any? I currently have week old chicks in the brooder right now.

I don't have silkies, but last fall I did have an EE hen go broody. She was having a hard time hatching out eggs so I had put some in the incubator for her. At first, she wanted nothing to do with them - she would puff up and peck them. So I separated the hen from the chicks with some wire mesh...

Hello everyone, I have an update. I am not sure what happened to the chick at its time at the feed store. It wasn't frostbite as this has been an unusually warm winter - and it was not a burn as the store used lamps and they are positioned pretty high. I ended up soaking the foot in some...

Edit: is this early signs of bumble foot? Ive been looking for pictures of early stages but cant find any.

Hello, I just brought home baby chicks, got them in the brooder and took care of any pasty butts... However I noticed this chick has a swollen foot? These chicks are only a few days old from the local feed store.

Thank you for your recipe! I am putting it on the 'lasagne to try' list I have!

Hello everyone. About 3 years ago I had asked my grandma to teach me how to make her lasagna, unfortunately, she passed away right as she was gathering the shelf-stable ingredients. I have been craving her lasagna and it makes me cry every time I think of it because we were so close (gardening...

I never heard of garlic being bad for chickens. Other animals yes, but not chickens. :O Ivermectin I think has a withdrawal period yes? And I can add the permethrin to the sand now. I usually add a combination of barn lime and DE to it anyways. Elector PSP is too expensive. I know mites can...

I already put garlic in their water lol

Hello everyone, I am sure this has been asked plenty of times, but has anyone heard of something I can add to a chicken's drinking water for mites? Otherwise, what can I do to help them out? They are not keen on being handled and frankly, I do not want to chase after them. Even when they are...

Hello everyone! I have contacted the state, and they said that as long as I don't sell more than 1000 processed birds and I do not sell to businesses/restaurants, I am exempt from licensing. That being said, I also asked about having to either hatch out or if purchasing chicks is fine, they said...

Is there a taste/texture difference between the rangers and the cornish? Any site I go to says they prefer rangers but then I go to youtube to watch what farmers prefer and they say cornish. What are your opinions?

Does anyone know the CO law for processing and selling poultry directly to a consumer? From my understanding as long as I do not sell more than 1000 birds AND have the proper labeling and record keeping then I am exempt from licensure. But then the wording gets weird and says " A producer who...

Thank you everyone! I have put off raising meat birds for so long just because it was unknown territory! I am definitely raising the rangers this spring!

Thank you for the information! I have heard of people who will not freeze their processed chickens immediately due to rigor mortis. Could I if I wanted to or does that mess with the texture? Does it make it tough? Should I store it in the fridge for a day or something?? Edit: I have been...

Hello everyone! Come spring I think I am going to raise some meat birds. I plan on starting with some chickens, then eventually working my way to ducks and turkeys. However, I have a few questions. The first is what equipment do you guys use? I know there are plucking machines, and I think I...

Hey guys! So i currently have my flock on Nutrena Naturwise and I like the feed. It smells nice and my chickens seem happy and healthy. Egg shell quality is good. I was recently in Big R (I normally shop at Tractor Supply) and noticed they have their own line of chicken feed. I wasnt able to...

Well originally I had planned to get bantams in a few years (as I am planning on moving states, so I wanted to take less when I move) but now I am thinking of getting some ladies for him. He is currently housed with some of my smaller hens. I really like how bantams look, but I use chickens for...

Hey guys, I am not sure what type of rooster this is, or mixture. I don't know anything about bantam breeds so I could use some help ID this little guy. Sorry for the cruddy pictures, he doesnt like me...yet.... Please ignore the hen in back. She has wounds from my big columbian wyandotte...
