I've been toying with diving into aquaponics but the scale! So I've seen people make cool systems out of something as small as a 5 gallon blue water jug and an aquarium pump. It's great nutrients for the plants, but what to do with those tiny fish???? I was wondering if I could make myself a lil...

I am attempting to make a 20% protein/5.5% fat recipe for my exhibition Ameraucanas. I started with an Azure Layer Recipe at 16.5% protein. I went corn and soy free on purpose; therein is the challenge. Here it is 48.58#s 19.6% Protein 5.3%Fat Peas 22# Wheat 8# Barley 4# Sunflower Seeds 4#...

So I'm juuuuust beginning researching selling extra eggs. I understand that U.S rules say eggs must be washed for sale. Since I personally think this is ridiculous and since each and every one of my eggs is fertile and could very well hatch (I have a half dozen Roos) can I just sell unwashed...

Everyone seems to love Azure for homesteady-stuff. I have been trying them for 5 months now and what I've noticed is that they are ALWAYS out of 20% of my 'regular' order. I feed my birds a specific mix of ingredients (no corn, no soy, organic) and when Azure is out of sorghum, for instance, I...

I'll try to be brief- I've been reaching out to breeders all over TX to find exhibition/show quality Black Ameraucanas. One finally got back to me with a price of $50/pullet, didn't say how old. From what I've been reading, $30-$35 is what I should expect to pay for show quality pullets? I want...

I live in SE TX. What is this white stuff and why is their water hard like a rock? Witchcraft no doubt.

We get high water 3-4 times a year here in SE TX so I've started a network of bridges and stations so even on days with standing water in our fields everyone can still run around a bit. More to come, probably!

I bought this mix as day-olds from CL to "chickenize" a flock of Guinea Fowl of the same age. I figured they were run of the mill Rhode Island Red based birds but I've ended up with all these beauties! I'm not sure of general breeds they came from or sexing for them. Any help is appreciated!

Pete wants to eat my chickens and/or eggs. Pete's greedy and didn't even help raise my chickens. I sent Pete packing.

8 week old barnyard mix. Neighbor found a hen who was hatching these kids and didn't want another 10 birds 😄 So I built them an 8x4 (they'll free range in SE TX, no winter). They posed so nice I had to share. Yay Mutts!!

First post, forgive me if im doing it wrong☺ I'll let the picture show the weather but this week is as cold as it ever gets where I live. My birds are a barnyard mix that I've raised from 1 day to week 8. There are 8 and they are housed with eleven 9 week old Guinea Fowl. They've been together...
