I may not be the smartest person in the world, but I still enjoy learning. The only thing is I want to learn from people that ACTUALLY know what they are talking about. We have had many members on this page that have extensive knowledge of the animals we raise. There are also a couple that do...

I am on my second mix right now, so we are still making changes. Right now I am still working on my winter mix, but we have also talked about a mix for the rest of the year. The last batch cost me $0.34 per pound, a little high compared to pre mixed or pre bagged. My chickens seem to love it...

Johnson's does have really good feed. What did you get? When I was buying from them I was getting the JJ and the JJ Juicer. Mixing them together myself at a 50-50 ratio. There was some pellets in the JJ Juicer that I did not like. It was 36 and 38% gluten protein. My chickens do not like...

Good I can ALWAYS stand some good new learning My fake hen turns its about three times a day.

Welcome back to the EGG world.

Love it.

I know the temp was down but how far did it drop? At how many days are they? Leave them for a few days and at least give them a chance. I had a broody that got off the eggs at 19 days and the temp outside was about 15* When I found the eggs they were like chunks of ice. Brought them inside...

Gurgle Gurgle, sinking fast here in Jefferson County. I have to evacuate 4 pens tonight. Working till 5:30 so can not do anything till after work. I checked them last night there was NO water in the area, This morning the water is 40 feet wide and at least a foot and a half deep in the...

Chickens are like people. They mature at different ages, but usually within a few weeks of each other. Do you have an older roo that he can see, even in another pen? They have a natural instinct but they also learn by example. He like that one pullet because she is coming of age. The good...

I'm just up the road in Talbott, but and covered up all weekend. Sorry. I did however notice your tag line, and checked out your pics. Some VERY nice looking chickens there.

I still want that black one. Would even trade on my black, which is huge for 7 months.

No same temp, but be aware sometimes they hatch early. My last batch (2 different breeds) started hatching on day 19. It made the large ones jealous so they decided to start early also.

First things first, How old are they and are they done molting? Secondly are they used to being outside? Finally, if the answers to the 1st two was yes, then they should be fine inside a tarp tent, just make sure that there are no openings other than where they will enter and exit. I do...

Our thoughts are ALWAYS with our extended family here on BYC East TN thread. Any thing that affects any of us always affects ALL of us.

I know you can. Had not thought of an oven but it should work very well. Have you ever thought about a small stand up freezer. (nice and square inside and not as heavy as a fridge. Dad picked one up for $15 but I'm NOT allowed to convert it. It works. Did you know that I have an old...

Congrats on the Yummy Orps. Sorry to hear about your others. I suppose that is the reason I carry my .380 with me anytime I am even thinking going out towards the chickens. I (just like ALL of us) have WAY TOO much money invested to be feeding wild animals fresh meat. And I DO NOT mean to...

Where have I heard that before???????????? OH Ya, it was on here in, September, October, November and December. Only time will tell if those incubators actually does have an "OFF" switch. Terry, I hope you know I am only kidding, you know how much I love to aggravate you.
