Has this ever happened to anyone here? I can't find any info on this doing a google search. Please, if anyone can explain this to me, the hen has been in the coop/run for a few days because I just planted some new stuff and haven't gotten the fence up yet. There is no way a stray chicken can get...
Well, I would like to get the breed that lays the largest egg, does anyone have an opinion on that? What is the normal lifespan? Is it feasible to only have about 6 hens for eggs for my family of three? Has anyone ever raised quail in a bird cage in the house? My husband would never let me, just...
If my chicken had gapeworm and I gave her the recommended dosage of ivermectin, how long would it take to see an improvement, such as not doing the gasping thing or coughing anymore?
If I cross the two....
Would I get a sex-link easter egger? If so, how can you tell the sex?
Would they lay bigger eggs than an Americauna?
Would they lay more frequently than an Americauna?
Does anyone have these crosses and can you post pics?
Thanks!!!
Hey everyone,
So we have been working on a reality series with a production company who is trying to sell it to a network and we need a little help from friends and family.
What I need.....
I posted the promo (video idea) of the series on youtube, I need people to watch it and rate it or leave...
Let's try to come up with an inexpensive way to feed our chickens, that way, the feed companies will have to lower their prices to increase sales again . If you have any organic recipes, that would be awesome!
BABIES!!!! My FIL brought over 4 Ameraucanas 2 black silkies, 2 black mottled D'uccles (can't even say it), 2 black Australorps, and 3 sultons. Personalities? What do you all think about them? I already have silkies and ameraucanas though.
I am really thinking about doing this, trying to raise some meat birds. Here is how I have justified it to myself, my daughter, and friends..
1. I am not a vegetarian, so every time I buy a chicken at the store, I am promoting the horrible conditions they put those animals through just to sell...
Flashback to about 4 weeks ago, neighbor comes over (renter) and she says "ya know I hate tell you this, but your roosters are really bothering me, I can't sleep, they crow all night. So I am really sorry that you will have to move your setup , I know it was really hard for you guys to move that...
That is a question that I come across a lot. So here is what I am thinking.....
Let's put our heads together and come up with a small paragraph on why our eggs are better including the most important reasons, addressing it to our egg buying customers.
I think it would be an excellent little...
Anyone wanna trade serama eggs with me? I have really pretty class b's. I would really prefer someone in central Texas, but if we must ship, then we must ship.
I thought it would be fun to show before and afters on our chickens since as chicks, we really don't know what they will look like when they grow up.
I'm first.....
My Seramas as babies, I can only tell you the black one (stepper) is still black.
Here they are now..
